In front of the chapel there is a paving of Maas boulders and cobblestones in which a circle with a cross has been placed in it.[2]

The red brick chapel is built on a rectangular plan and is covered by a gable roof with concrete slabs. A cross has been placed on the ridge above the front facade. The front facade contains the round arched entrance, which is closed with two rectangular doors and a tympanum above it. This tympanum is painted with two crossed keys, twigs with leaves and St. Peter in the middle. In the left side wall there is a brick with the text Refounded 1993.[2][1]

The inside of the chapel is made of brick and a high, artistically painted altar has been placed against the back wall. The altar consists of two columns in the lower half, above which the altar top, and in the upper half again two columns with a pediment on top. The whole is light in color, with gold-colored frames and marble columns. Between the two columns of the upper half is a round arch with a double door. In front of it on the altar is a polychrome statue of Saint Peter holding an upside-down cross in his right hand, in his left hand he wipes tears from his face with a cloth and next to him stands a colorful rooster at his feet. This rooster refers to a statement by Jesus that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crows
