The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Peter is located in the East Frisian village Westeraccum (community Dornum). It is a brick church from the 13th century. A special feature is the three-bay vault.
The brick church was built around 1270 as a single nave apse hall on a granite pedestal on a high mound. The three Domikalgewölbe are preserved with their ornamental paintings from the years 1270 to 1280, which were rediscovered in 2000 under renovation work carried out under the cut plaster and restored.
This church also underwent structural changes over time. The old round arched portals with granite framing in the north and south wall were later walled up. The long sides are broken by three windows, which have all later enlarged and provided with pointed arch. In the semicircular apse are three round-arched windows, the middle of which is now walled up. While these windows date back to the construction period, the shape of the apse roof was changed in the 17th century. Today it is covered with copper. In the west gable a new window was broken. On the eastern south wall is a Hagioskop.
The squat bell tower of the closed type was built separately at the southeast corner of the church. He has round sound arcades, cornerstones and lateral buttresses. The masonry is decorated below the eaves by a frieze. On the hipped roof a swan serves as weather vane. The belfry was rebuilt several times and goes back only in the core to the construction time of the church.
