St. Peter und Paul, Eschweiler

The red brick church stands on the northern side of the market square, featuring arrow slits from its defensive tower construction period.

The church's foundation connects to a Carolingian royal estate from 828, with later reconstruction following partial destruction during the French occupation in 1678.

Regular services, ceremonies, and community gatherings take place in the church, maintaining religious traditions within the historic old town setting.

The central parish office operates at Dürener Straße 29 in Eschweiler, managing church activities and cemetery administration.

The church preserves a rare Lederpieta from 1360, one of only three calfskin religious artworks remaining in Germany.
