The chapel of St. Peter is the symbol of the Municipality of Leifers/Laives, and is also depicted in the town’s coat of arms. It is located on a hill above Leifers/Laives and dates back to the 12th century. The chapel was originally intended to be the chapel for Castle Lichtenstein. Next to the church there are only a few ruins left of the ancient castle, which was also part of a fortress below, which was built in 1160 and destroyed in 1290. Today the chapel can only be visited from the outside. Inside only the altar remains with its altar stone.
