The Sint-Pieters-Stoelkerk in Sint-Pieters-Voeren, part of the municipality of Voeren, dates from the seventeenth century. She was built by Commander Quaedt de Beeck of the nearby commandery. Yet the church functioned independently of the commandery. After all, it was dependent on the collegiate church of Sint-Martens-Voeren until 1794 and was served by one of the canons of the chapter of that church.

The cemetery contains a number of dated grave crosses from various periods (1667-1702) and several undated ones from an older period. The gravestone of Commander Quaedt de Beeck (+1661) stands against the outside of the choir. Also at the choir is a remarkable forged iron cross on a limestone plinth in memory of a miraculous apparition in 1799.

The history of St. Peter's Church dates back to the Middle Ages: The church's origins are thought to date back to the 11th century, and it is dedicated to the Apostle Peter. The building's fortified character is particularly striking, indicating that churches in this border region fulfilled not only religious but also protective functions.

The interior of the church contains valuable furnishings, including an artfully carved high altar, several Baroque side altars, and gravestones commemorating important figures from local history.
