Sankt Petri kyrka, Malmö

The Sankt Petri Church in Malmö, located by the canal down by the sea side, some 5 minutes from the central station.

Sankt Petri was described by sv:C.G. Brunius as the finest church in Skåne after Lunds domkyrka. It was built in the 13th century in the "German" Gothic architecture, with red bricks.

The tower fell down once in the 15th century. It was blamed on a woman who had been seen pointing her finger at the tower prior to the fall, and she was burned for that.

Before the reformation the church was the home for monks. With the reformation, the monks were forced to leave.

The church was in a somewhat bad condition in the 17th-19th century. For a while the tower had no roof. Then it had a "cap" shaped roof for a while.

Old drawings and photos

Some of them were only intended as thumbnails for a web page I was creating, so the quality is rather bad. Others are scanned in png's, or digitally improved jpg's.
