Hauptkirche St. Petri, Edited Version, Hamburg, Sachsen, Germany, 2014

Many of Hamburg's churches were leveled during World War II. Most of the surviving churches in the city centre are rebuilds, some more than others. This church was an exception, though, as it survived intact. It stands on the site of a number churches dating back to 1195, when the first one was completed, but the current church dates to 1878, built to replace a church destroyed by fire in 1842.
