First mentioned in 1322, this parish church was initially dedicated to St. Peter and St. James, then to St. Peter alone and later it was rededicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. The foundation wall of the tower dates back to that year. The main portal with its sharp arch and star-shaped vault dates back to the first half of the 15th century. Around 1664, the Romanesque apse was replaced by a choir enclosed on three sides, which is there to this day. The Stations of the Cross from 1747 are valuable artifacts. The Silesian artist Karl Joh. Henrici created the Steinegg frescoes in ca. 1794.
