The Church of St. Peter is a medieval mountain church, dedicated to St. Peter between 836 and 838, in the former Benedictine monastery in Petersberg near Fulda in East Hesse, which belongs to the Fulda diocese and is located in Petersberg, An St. Peter 2.

Since about 1020 the complex was called Mons sanct Petri. Its vaults are among the oldest above-ground church buildings in Germany and contain wall paintings from the time of construction, which are also the oldest surviving murals in Germany.

Saint Lioba was buried in the crypt, which is why it is also called Liobakirche. The skull reliquary of the saint has been in the church again since 1995.

On September 25, 2016, a multimedia church tour was opened. It is always accessible during the opening hours of the church. 52 films between one and three minutes explain the church and its history in detail, the crypt and the life of Saint Lioba.
