    This church is very striking because of its tower. Some parts of the current church appear to have been repaired in the 13th century. The choir may have had a pointed arch, as is still the case in the northern arm of the transverse chief. The classical church hall indicates that certain changes took place in the 17th century, probably after the fire in the village in 1642. The sundial on the south side of the nave bears the year 1611.

      This church was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19).
      Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.
