This church is called the St Petrus church.

"St. Petrus church" is English version of this church name, but how about my title version? Do You think, this is absolute incorrect? :) See wiki: "..and the Pieterskerk (church of St Peter (1315).."

Best regards to You and my special greetings to all those friendly peoples living in Leiden and I have my chance meet in my short visit there! :)

The Pieterskerk is in the historic centre of Leiden and was built in the 14th century. The church on the picture is the St Peters church built in the Professorenwijk in 1935. The two names are almost the same but the churches are not.

Thank You Keesr for such detailed info! My apologises about this misunderstanding with wrong title!

I been in Leiden in transit only once and from car window I can't see this church name.

Also it makes a next question, why in "wiki" not mentioned this rare situation with Leiden church names?

With k. regards - Ainars
