Saint Peter's Church, Slagelse

Saint Peter's Church (Danish: Sankt Peders Kirke) is a Lutheran church located in the center of Slagelse, Denmark. The congregation was originally part of the Roman Catholic Church, but was converted to Lutheranism during the Reformation. The church was originally built in the 12th century out of stone, but it has since received a variety of brick extensions and renovations. The church's steady expansions reflect the continued growth of the town. In the 14th century, Saint Michael's Church (Danish: Sankt Mikkels Kirke) was built and replaced Saint Peter's Church as the main parish church of Slagelse. Saint Anders of Slagelse was a priest at the church in the late 12th century. After his death in 1205, he was venerated by local practitioners for various miracles he is believed to have performed, despite never being canonized.
