All the glory of the rococo style appears to be gathered in the "Peterskirche" (St. Peter's Church), where it shines in glittering gold, as bright as the day it was constructed. With good reason: the elegant twin onion-towered church was returned to the parish after a ten-year restoration in 1989. One can discover not only art treasures of previous centuries here, but also present day works of art. The Bavarian artist Karl Manninger and his pupil Hermenegild Peiker pravided the colorful painting inside the church. The fresco paintings of Joseph Appiani (originating between 1752 and 1755), which had been destroyed during the war, were the historical inspiration for Manninger's work. The extensive paintings relate the life and legend of the Apostle Peter. One original is preserved by the entrance. The church was founded in 944 by Archbishop Friedrich of Lorraine. The court architect, Johann Valentin Thomann, constructed the new church on the site of the demolished "Marienkirche" (Church of St. Mary).
