    St. Peter's Church in Leidringen, a district of Rosenfeld in the Zollernalb district of Baden-Württemberg, is a listed Protestant parish church that was built in the middle of the 12th century. It belongs to the Leidringen-Rotenzimmern parish in the Sulz am Neckar church district.

    The choir tower church was built around 1150 on the ruins of a Roman villa and has undergone numerous changes since then. The predominant style, however, is late Gothic. It is a plastered hall building with a gable roof. The choir tower has a hipped roof and loopholes. The choir area is equipped with a remarkable late Gothic net vault over console figures and a profiled, ribbed choir arch, the nave has a wooden coffered ceiling.

    The church is surrounded by a walled churchyard. The quarry stone wall with a round-arch portal has, however, been dilapidated for some time.

    During excavations in the 1950s, an intact female skull was discovered, which is attributed to the farmer's daughter Margret Bruch. The girl is said to have suffered stigmata in the 16th century, which is said to have attracted numerous believers to the village as the "miracle of Leidringen". Even after her death, the church is said to have remained a popular place of pilgrimage.

    Four bells, some of them very old, hang in the tower of St. George's Church. With the signal bell from 2008, this creates a C sharp major triad with a sixth added.
