St. Peter und Paul, Gothic church in Eltville am Rhein, Germany.

The Catholic church features an asymmetrical two-nave hall structure with a western tower topped by a Baroque roof from 1686.

Construction of the present church started in 1305, with the choir becoming usable in 1359, funded by the Mainz Peter Foundation and nobility.

The parish church hosts late Gothic wall paintings, artistic furnishings, and a baptismal font created by Peter Schro in 1517.

St. Peter und Paul serves as the main church of the parish, offering regular services and maintaining two organs for musical accompaniment.

A reported host miracle in 1400 led to pilgrimages and necessitated the expansion of the church with a new south aisle around 1420.
