Comments

The St Petri Lutheran Church, Nuriootpa is in the SA-NT District of the Lutheran Church of Australia. The first worship services in the north Barossa area were held on private property in the late 1840s. As the congregational numbers grew, the erection of a church building was a priority, and the first church was opened on 10/11/1867 by Pastors Niquet and Reusch. A schoolroom added in 1868. The church was enlarged and the additions dedicated on 15/7/1923. A bell tower was added and dedicated on 14/8/1927. To cater for the growing congregation, planning for a new church building began in 1961, with the new building dedicated for worship on 5/5/1968. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/9/2026.
