Stadt Lahr, Kirche St. Peter und Paul

St. Peter and St. Paul

The church was the first Catholic church to be built in Lahr following the Reformation. It was built with a two-tower façade between 1844 and 1849 by the architect Jacob Julius Greiff.

It was restored to its current condition between 1984 and 1992.

Das Bild zeigt die beiden hohen Türme der Kirche St. Peter und Paul vor strahlend blauem Himmel. Die Perspektive von unten nach oben lässt sie noch höher und imposanter wirken.
