Church
The first documented mention of St. Petri dates back to 1385.
After the medieval church fell into disrepair and became too small, the current church building was erected in 1798. The church was dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle. The bricks are plastered red. The nave has large arched windows. The tower with the belfry is still from the original church. The four bells from 1953 are from the Rincker bell and art foundry.
 
The baptistery is located on the first floor of the tower. It is connected to the nave by an arcade. The sacristy was installed under the eastern gallery in 1972/73. The interior is spanned by a wooden ceiling. The altar and pulpit date from the time of construction. The current organ with 18 stops dates from 1963 and was restored in 2018.
