The St. Peter's Band Church or St. Peter in Bands is the parish church of Halen in Limburg (Belgian province), located on the Markt there.
It is a Gothic cross basilica with built-in west tower. The nave dates from the end of the 14th century, the side aisles from the mid-16th century, and the transept dates from 1552. It is not known when the choir was built, but it is likely that it was built at the same time as the nave. In the 19th century, the north aisle and transept arm were replaced, and the south transept arm was raised. The tower suffered damage in 1940, but it was repaired during the war.
The square west tower dates from the 13th century and is built in iron sandstone. This originally had three sections, later another section was added. The tower is supported by two heavy buttresses. The basket arch portal is from 1554.
The nave and the choir were also built in iron sandstone. The side aisles are made of brick, and the buttresses were added in the 19th century.
