The Church of St. Peter and Paul was originally a Romanesque church from the 1100s. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the church was converted into a late Gothic hall church. In 1893 the spire was rebuilt and new stained glass windows were installed.

The church was destroyed in the First World War. Only parts of the choir and of the south wall remain, containing old tombstones. Half of the 55-meter tower remained standing.

Reconstruction started in September 1921 and the church was reopened two years later. In the post-war church there are three central windows in stained glass. Above the altar you can see the effigy of St. Livinus. On the window and above the altar of Our Lady, we see the Blessed Virgin ascending to heaven in colored glass.

The church has been a protected monument since 1939.

Outside, around the church, scenes from the life of Saint Livinus are depicted.
