St. Peter at Syburg is a Romanesque church, now the active Protestant parish church in Syburg, a suburb of Dortmund, Germany. The church is surrounded by a graveyard, which contains the oldest gravestones in Westphalia; three stones date back to between 750 and 850, one of which is in the church. The original church, described as a basilica, is documented in the Annals of Lorsch as early as 776, making it the oldest in Dortmund and probably in Westphalia. Remnants of the simple rectangular wooden building are now under examination. The neighboring Castle of Hohensyburg, taken the same year by the Saxons, was liberated by Pope Leo III in 799. In the presence of Charlemagne and other dignitaries, the Pope dedicated the church to St. Peter, the patron saint of the Carolingians. The present-day building dates from the 12th century. It was built around 1100 with a flat ceiling and was a Wehrkirche (Fortified church). The tower, still standing today, was built in the 13th century. The chancel was built in 1688 with pointed windows in the Gothic style.

As an Aachen resident, I am always amazed at Charlemagne. This place was mentioned in a document as early as 776. At that time, the Saxons tried to recapture Hohensyburg, which had been taken by Charlemagne a year earlier. The place has great power. A look inside the beautiful. And there is the stamp for St. James pilgrims.
