St. Peter’s Cathedral or Geneva Cathedral, is a cathedral located in the historic center of the city of Geneva, in Switzerland.
The Cathedral of Saint-Pierre in Geneva has been the main Protestant church of Geneva since 1535. Previously, it was for a thousand years (from the end of the 4th century) the cathedral church of the Bishop of Geneva. The current building was rebuilt in the 12th century and includes an eclectic mix of styles. It is best known for being the mother church adopted by John Calvin, one of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. Inside the church there is a wooden chair used by Calvin.
Five hundred steps lead to the top of the north tower from where you get this 360° panoramic view over the city, the lake with its famous Geneva Jet. It is also in this tower that you will find la Clémence, the largest bell in the cathedral, weighing six tons, which was hoisted in 1407, and which played an important role on the night of L’Escalade.
Saint-Pierre Cathedral is one of the main attractions of the city.
