St. Peter chapel

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.

The chapel rests on the foundations of an ancient Roman fort, with the earliest religious structure dating to the 5th century. This deep foundation shows how sacred use of the site has persisted across millennia.

The chapel has served as a place of worship for centuries and shows signs of continuous religious use across different periods. Visitors today can observe how the building remains woven into local spiritual life.

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.

A renovation in the 1990s uncovered layered medieval wall paintings depicting biblical scenes such as the Entombment and Resurrection. These hidden artworks reveal an artistic tradition that lay concealed beneath later plaster for centuries.
