St. Peter's Church in Tartu

St. Peter's Church in Tartu is a neo-Gothic Lutheran church built at the end of the 19th century on Narva maantee in Tartu's Ülejõe district. Designed by the architect Viktor Schröter, the red-brick building stands out with its tall tower, pointed-arch windows and spacious nave. Inside, the wooden galleries, the historic organ and Johann Köler's altarpiece "Christ Calling" deserve attention. The church was built for a growing Estonian-speaking congregation and is today an important part of Tartu's religious and architectural heritage. The exterior can be viewed from Narva maantee; when visiting the interior, keep the congregation's activities and services in mind.
