Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk, Roman Catholic church in Wolder, Maastricht, Netherlands.
Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk is a Roman Catholic church with three naves built from red-brown brick between 1896 and 1898 in Wolder. Its distinctive tower topped with an octagonal slate-covered spire remains a focal point of the neighborhood.
An earlier church dedicated to Saint Mark stood on this site from around 1000 until the late 1800s. The current building was constructed in the 1890s to serve the expanding local community.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Wolder neighborhood, where locals come together for services and community events. Its name honors two apostles whose images appear in the building's design.
The church is located on Monseigneur Vranckenplein in the heart of Wolder and is easily visible from the street. Access is straightforward through the public square, with parking and public transportation nearby.
Three bronze bells named Jozef, Maria, and Petrus-Paulus were installed in 1947 to replace the original bell seized during World War II. Since 1991, the tower clock has been controlled by radio signal synchronized to atomic time from Mainflingen.
