St. Peter und Paul

St. Peter and Paul is a Roman Catholic parish church featuring a baroque tower, transept, and rounded arch windows set within a hall church design. The interior is marked by open spatial flow and streamlined, contemporary decoration.

The original structure dates to 822, with major reconstructions in 1693 and 1729. A significant expansion between 1886 and 1887 shaped much of what stands today.

The interior underwent reshaping in 1966 when baroque furnishings gave way to simpler designs reflecting shifts in how people worship. You notice this change in the bright, open spaces that greet you when you step inside.

The church sits at Hauptstraße 18 and is easily approachable from the street with clear sight lines to the distinctive tower. Inside, a modern organ from 1999 with 25 registers sounds during special services.

The bell tower houses four bells tuned to the notes e1, gis1, h1, and d2, creating a specific sound pattern during services. This specialized ring is an overlooked detail that shapes the acoustic character of the parish.
