Cathedral of St Peter (German: Wormser Dom) is a church in Worms, southern Germany.
It was the seat of the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Worms until its extinction in 1800.
It is a basilica with four round towers, two large domes, and a choir at each end.
The interior is built in red sandstone.
Only the ground plan and the lower part of the western towers belong to the original building
consecrated in 1110.
The remainder was mostly finished by 1181,
but the west choir and the vaulting were built in the 13th century,
the elaborate south portal was added in the 14th century, and the central dome has been rebuilt.
The ornamentation of the older parts is simple;
even the more elaborate later forms show no high development of workmanship.
Unique sculptures depicting salvation stories appear above the Gothic-era south doorway.
The baptismal font contains five remarkable stone reliefs from the late 15th century.
The church's original windows were destroyed by bombing in 1943; between 1965 to 1995
new windows were made by Mainz artist Alois Plum.
The cathedral is 110 m long, and 27 m wide, or, including the transepts,
which are near the west end, 36 m (inner measurements). The height in the nave is 26 m;
under the domes it is 40 m.

1110년에 축성된 옛 성당 건물의 잔재는 1층 평면 부분과 서쪽 탑의 저층부만 남아있다.
그 외 나머지 부분은 대부분 1181년에 완공된 것들이다.
그러나 서쪽의 성가대석 부분과 아치 부분은 13세기에 시공된 것이며,
14세기에 남쪽 정문이 추가되었고 중앙 돔이 재건되었다.
보름스 대성당은 길이가 110미터, 넓이가 27미터인데,
수랑(십자형 성당의 좌우 날개 부분) 부분까지 포함시키면 36미터이다.
