Church of SS. Peter and Paul in Katowice, Gothic Revival church building in Katowice, Poland.

The Church of SS. Peter and Paul features green and red brick walls, rising to a height of 86 meters with a prominent clock on its facade.

Construction of the church took place from 1898 to 1902 with funding of 20,000 German marks from Cardinal Georg Kopp, Bishop of Breslau.

Between 1925 and 1955, this religious structure served as the main cathedral of Katowice, reflecting its central role in local Catholic practices.

The church maintains regular services at its location in Śródmieście district, accessible through public transportation and marked by its tall spire.

During World War II, German forces removed two of the church's original five bells to manufacture weapons, permanently altering its musical character.
