St. Peter chapel, Religious heritage chapel in Schaan, Liechtenstein.

St. Peter chapel is a rectangular stone building in Schaan with an interior featuring a recessed choir framed under a net vault in Gothic style. A bell tower with a clock face marks the west side of the structure.

Excavations on the site of a Roman fort revealed a church whose oldest parts date to the 5th century. A document of 1298 first names an "ecclesia St. Petri" here. The visible building comes from a rebuild in the second half of the 15th century; after a fire in 1859 it was re-consecrated in 1851 and later given neo-Gothic features, which the 1961–1963 renovation under architect Hans Rheinberger removed.

The chapel belongs to the parish of St. Laurentius – Schaan and Planken in the Archdiocese of Vaduz. Its late-Gothic wooden Madonna with the Child, a copy of a figure about 90 cm tall kept in the Liechtenstein National Museum, stands on the choir arch wall. Since 1977 a seven-register organ by Mathis Orgelbau of Näfels occupies the west wall.

The chapel is located at Obergass 8 and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Since it remains an active place of worship, checking access times in advance is helpful before your visit.

The oldest wall paintings on the side walls date from around 1500. They were discovered in 1917, whitewashed over again, and only finally uncovered during the 1961–1963 renovation led by architect Hans Rheinberger, which also removed the stair gable, pinnacles and roof turret and added a free-standing campanile.
