The Peter and Paul Church was built between 1501 and 1512 by the master builders Stephan Waid and Dionysius Böblinger. The choir has a richly painted net vault, the nave has a decorated beamed ceiling. Among other things, you can see gravestones of the Thumb von Neuburg family, as well as a Renaissance winged altar with Gothic carvings. The tower was built between 1722 and 1724 and provided space for the 32-hundred-pound "Mary's Bell" cast in 1430 by Master Otto from Esslingen.
