Saint Peter's Church

Saint Peter's Church

Tartu's St Peter's parish split off from St Mary's in 1869, and for years it worshipped in St John's while it saved up for a church of its own. The cornerstone was laid on 31 May 1883, and the neo-Gothic church by architect Viktor Schröter was consecrated on 16 September 1884, but the west tower, designed by Georg Hellat, was completed only in 1903. The church cost 110,000 roubles, raised mostly from donations. Inside hangs 'The Calling Christ', an 1897 altar painting by the painter Johann Köler.

Eesti keeles

Tartu Peetri kogudus eraldus Maarja kogudusest 1869. aastal ja pidas aastaid jumalateenistusi Jaani kirikus, kuni kogus raha oma kiriku jaoks. Nurgakivi pandi 31. mail 1883 ning arhitekt Viktor Schröteri uusgooti kirik pühitseti 16. septembril 1884, kuid Georg Hellati kavandatud läänetorn valmis alles 1903. aastal. Kiriku ehitus läks maksma 110 000 rubla, mis koguti peamiselt annetustena. Kirikus on Johann Köleri 1897. aasta altarimaal „Kutsuv Kristus“.
