Cathedral of St Peter at Schleswig

Cathedral of St Peter at Schleswig is one of the most important and most impressive historic buildings in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It combines Romanesque and Gothic styles and is constructed out of granite, tuff and brick. The interior is filled with art with the magnificently carved Bordesholm Altar by Hans Brüggemann the clear artistic highlight in the church. Schleswig is also the final resting place of king Frederick I of Denmark and his marble sarcophagus is one of the best examples of Dutch-Renaissance sculpture in the region.
