The first mention of St. Peters church can be found in the chronicles of the Livonian order from 1209. Yet, the church has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The structure of the church today is from 1600, when the church tower was considered the tallest standing wooden structure in the world. Yet the tower we see today is a reconstruction, as the original burned down in 1941, when the Nazis broke their pact and attacked the USSR. As communism was devoutly atheist, this church did not hold service thought the Soviet occupation and the building stood without a tower until 1973. In 1973, ideas of tourism prevailed and the tower was reconstruct with an elevator. Go up, nice view!!!!
