Peterskirche, Medieval church in Efringen-Kirchen, Germany

The Peterskirche features stone walls, a tall bell tower, and an architectural design that follows Romanesque principles from the medieval period.

Construction of the Peterskirche began in 1173, and archaeological excavations revealed remains of a Roman villa beneath its foundations.

The interior walls display religious paintings from the second half of the 15th century, uncovered and restored during renovations in 1955.

The church opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 16:00 between August 26 and October 31.

Archaeological findings suggest a Merovingian church with a cemetery existed at this location in the early 7th century.
