St. Peter in Ketten

St. Peter in Ketten is a Gothic church in Montabaur distinguished by two prominent bell towers on its western facade that rise above the old town roofline. The structure displays typical Gothic features and defines the city's skyline with its distinctive profile.

The building was constructed in several phases beginning in the first half of the 13th century and continuing until around 1350. Following major restoration efforts, the church reopened to the community in 2006.

The church serves the local Catholic community as a place for worship and gatherings that shape daily life. It remains central to the religious and social identity of the town.

The church is easily accessible and can be visited during its opening hours. It is worth exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the view of the towers from outside.

Inside stands a neo-Gothic winged altar from 1913 by sculptor Weis, designed so that the choir windows remain visible. This design shows how artists balanced practical needs with artistic considerations.
