The Christmas Craft Market at St. Peter’s Church (Kunsthandwerkermarkt St. Petri) in Lübeck offers an indoor shopping experience during the Advent season. Artists and craftspeople from Germany and the Baltic Sea region display their handmade goods inside the beautiful church.
The market stalls offer a wide variety of handcrafted items including felted accessories, wooden home and garden items, ceramics, and unique silk and wool pieces. Shoppers can find leather bags and belts, glass and copper artwork, hand-painted cards, Scandinavian home decor, jewellery made from precious metals and amber, Christmas decorations, and toys.
This quiet indoor market provides a peaceful alternative to busy outdoor Christmas markets, perfect to find shelter from the winter weather and for finding special gifts in the calm setting of the historic church.
