Pfarrkirche, Baroque church in Würzburg, Germany.

St. Peter und Paul is a vaulted gallery hall church with freestanding pillars. Its three-storey facade mixes Roman Baroque and Renaissance elements and holds numerous saint statues made in 1773 by the Wagner workshop. The Romanesque towers stand inside the church hall behind the facade, and the Gothic choir was altered in Baroque style on the upper floor.

A first Romanesque church served the southern suburb of Sand outside the city wall; it was replaced by a Gothic building in the High Middle Ages. From 1717 to 1720 Joseph Greissing built the Baroque church for Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau, keeping the Romanesque towers and Gothic choir. It was consecrated on 26 January 1721 by Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn. Destroyed on 16 March 1945, it was rebuilt externally true to the original between 1950 and 1959.

The parish is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, and the church gives its name to the Peterplatz where it stands. Inside, the Aquilin altar in the left aisle holds a figure and relics of Saint Aquilin, who was born in Würzburg; the figure was made by Andreas Kräml in 1987. The three altars came from the parish church of Himmelstadt in 1974.

The church is located in the old town and is open to visitors during the day. Tours can be booked through the city's tourist office to learn more about the architecture and artwork.

The Romanesque towers of the previous church now stand inside the nave, behind the Baroque facade, after Joseph Greissing's 1717-1720 rebuild. The epitaph of chancellor Johann Lorenz Adelmann, cast in bronze around 1720 by Johann Adam Roth of Forchheim, survived the fire of 16 March 1945.
