Perschen with its Romanesque basilica is known as the original parish of the Upper Palatinate. frescoes a. i.e. Around 1410 and columns with figurative representations still characterize the interior, despite later baroque renovation. With the Karner and the Edelmannshof, an ensemble worth seeing has been preserved here.

This church was dedicated to the two saints Peter and Paul, also known as the "princes of the apostles". Their common day of remembrance in the saints calendar is June 29th.
* Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother - 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).
* Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, like the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime, but only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to Roman law at the time, this was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long agonizing agony) that the citizens of Rome were entitled to.
