St. Peter's Church

St. Peter's Church in Garz is an impressive church built originally in the 14th century, but it took until the 16th century to finish. One of the elements on the outside of the brick building to stand out is the square west tower. A richly decorated font from the 13th century is the oldest piece of decoration. Most of the other furnishings date back to the 18th century, such as the suspended baptismal angel or the pulpit. The altar screen was created by Elias Kessler in 1724.
