St. Petri in Lübeck, first mentioned in 1170, is the cultural and university church of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. After several reconstructions, St. Petri was given its current architectural form as a five-aisled Gothic hall church in the 15th century and has been a Protestant church since the Reformation in Lübeck in 1530.
In March 1942, the church was badly damaged by a British bombing raid and burned down completely. After restoration, St. Petri was only reopened as a church for the whole city in 1987 and is now a place for art and culture, for science and discussion. During Advent, an arts and crafts Christmas market is held in St. Petri. From the tower of the church you have an overview of the whole of Lübeck's old town.

St. Petri zu Lübeck, erstmals 1170 erwähnt, ist die Kultur- und Hochschulkirche der Hansestadt Lübeck. Nach mehrfachem Umbau bekam St. Petri im 15. Jahrhundert die heutige architektonische Gestalt als fünfschiffige gotische Hallenkirche und ist seit der Reformation in Lübeck im Jahr 1530 eine evangelische Kirche.
Im März 1942 wurde die Kirche durch einen britischen Bombenangriff stark beschädigt und brannte vollkommen aus. Nach der Restaurierung wurde St. Petri erst 1987 als Kirche für die ganze Stadt wiedereröffnet und ist heute ein Ort für Kunst und Kultur, für Wissenschaft und Diskussion. In der Adventszeit findet in St. Petri jeweils ein Kunsthandwerker-Weihnachtsmarkt statt. Vom Turm der Kirche hat man einen Überblick über die ganze Lübecker Altstadt.

This church on top of a hill is a prominent feature in Alton, Illinois, USA. Thanks for getting a closer look at it.
Now ruins just a thought to how majestic the cathedral would have looked like in it's best days, long ago.
St Bartholomews Church, Tardebigge, near Bromsgrove. The name Tardebigge means 'tower on the hill', probably from the Saxon church that was here from around 974 CE. The 11th century Norman church also had a tower, but this collapsed in 1775, the majority of this replacement building being completed two years later. This photo was taken around 7 p.m. on what had been a hot day, with the temperatures still in the mid 20s C.
The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom
St. Kastor in Koblenz. Der Bau wurde im 9. Jahrhundert geweiht, maßgeblich allerdings erst durch Um- und Neubauten im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert zu seiner heutigen Form gebracht.
Nach Kriegszerstörungen erfolgte 1955 eine neue Ausmalung.

This is the beautiful church of Kallmünz, a picturesque small village situated in the Naab valley north to Regensburg, Bavaria, very close to where I live.
I have posted an interior pano of this church before. See below in the comments. This image has been created from the exact same set of individual captures but using a totally different projection*.

I composed this photograph during an early morning walk in downtown St. George, Utah. It is of a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
After the death of Joseph Smith, whom they considered to be a prophet, Mormon pioneers migrated west. They were later directed by his successor, Brigham Young, to settle in southwestern Utah, where this temple was completed in March 1877.
The temple was built over swampy land. Workers created a dry foundation by using a cannon (with a debated origin), which they lifted thirty feet to use as a pile driver for compacting the foundation. For more than six years, members willingly contributed to the temple, which included daily travel to the work site, and dedicating one day out of ten as a form of tithing labor.
Brigham Young, the church president, considered the completed cupola too short. Two years after he died, a lightning strike razed the tower, and the reconstructed height of the tower was doubled to his desired height. It is the oldest temple in active use by the church.

Ovingham, Northumberland
Ovingham's parish church of St Mary dates to the Saxon period, with major rebuilding in the 13th century and again in the Victorian period.
St Mary's church was the site of historic drama in 1534, Henry VIII's church commissioners, sent to dissolve Hexham Abbey were challenged from the top of the church tower by the abbot, dressed in armour. The abbot was hanged for his impudence, ostensibly for wearing armour, which was forbidden to a cleric.
St Ninian's Cave, Galloway. Which the 4/5th C saint was said to use as a retreat for peaceful meditation. Also a location for the iconic folk horror film, The Wicker Man.
St. Lorenz is a Gothic church building in Nuremberg, south of the River Pegnitz
Construction of the three-aisled basilica began around 1250, and the late Gothic hall choir was completed in 1477. The roof and vault were badly damaged in the Second World War and were restored.
The very important late Gothic furnishings were largely preserved through storage.
Since the Reformation, the St. Lorenz Church, along with the Sebaldus Church, has been one of the two large Protestant city churches in Nuremberg, both of which belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, which is otherwise a Catholic-dominated federal district.

St. Lorenz ist ein gotischer Kirchenbau in Nürnberg südlich der Pegnitz gelegenen
Baubeginn der dreischiffigen Basilika war um 1250, der spätgotische Hallenchor wurde 1477 vollendet. Der im Zweiten Weltkrieg an Dach und Gewölbe stark beschädigte Bau wurde wiederhergestellt.
Die sehr bedeutende spätgotische Ausstattung blieb durch Auslagerung weitgehend erhalten.
Seit der Reformation ist die St. Lorenz Kirche neben der Sebaldus Kirche eine der beiden großen evangelischen Stadtkirchen Nürnbergs, die beide der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Bayern gehören.

St. Aidan's Church
Standing under a sky full of stars, this beautiful red brick church, built in 1954 after its 80-year-old predecessor was lost to fire, is a landmark of history and faith in the Ferguson Valley. Surrounded by rolling green hills, renowned wineries, and incredible local food, it’s a must-visit with family and friends.
Captured in this night panorama, the church stands quietly beneath our home galaxy, a reminder of time, light, and the stories written in both stone and starlight.
