Peterskirche, Rindermarkt 1 (S-Bahn: ''Marienplatz''), [6]. No sightseeing during services; services (Catholic): M-F 08:00 & 09:00 & 10:00 & 11:00 & 18:00, Sa 18:00, Su 07:00 & 08:00 & 09:00 & 10:45 & 12:00 & 18:00. Munich's first parish church was started in the 12th century, but ongoing additions and renovations have kept artists busy for centuries. During a city fire in 1327, the church was damaged and in 1607, the tower (called Alter Peter) was struck by lightning. At the back of the church is a Lourdes grotto tucked under the choir loft stairs, as well as an educational display which shows step by step how a fresco is made. Climb up the 306 steps inside the tower to have a nice view over the city center.
