Katholische Pfarrkirche St. Peter und Paul

Katholische Pfarrkirche St. Peter und Paul, Parish church in Rimpar, Germany.

St. Peter und Paul is a Neo-Gothic cruciform church built from 1849 to 1854, oriented north to south, with a flat-ceilinged nave and transept and a three-sided choir under a Neo-Gothic vault. Its east wall carries the Julius Echter tower, whose core dates to the 13th century; the tower has two stacked clock faces with gold hands, green-louvred windows and a dark pointed spire. The main portal tympanum shows a relief of Mary and Child flanked by angels, with figures of Peter and Paul at the sides, carved by Andreas Halbig.

A church in Rimpar was first documented in 1308, with its choir in the lower storey of the tower. From 1607 to 1610, Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn enlarged the church and raised the tower by an 18-foot storey. After the old nave was demolished in April 1849, the Gothic choir tower was kept, and the new cruciform church was consecrated on 22 July 1854 by Georg Anton von Stahl.

The parish belongs to the parish community "Gemeinsam unterwegs" with St. Afra Maidbronn, in the deanery of Würzburg right of the Main. The high altar shows the Adoration of the Shepherds, with Mary wearing a crown of twelve stars added only in the 1987/88 renovation. The church's patrons Peter and Paul flank the main portal.

The building sits prominently in the center of Rimpar and its bell tower serves as an easy landmark for navigation. Visitors should plan their visit around the times when services are held, as the church is primarily used as an active parish space.

The bell tower holds six bells cast in 1866 by a specialized foundry, and their sounds mark important moments throughout the year in the town. The tower's base preserves gravestones of a local noble family, connecting the building to centuries of regional history.
