The St. Petruskerk (St. Peter's church) from 1881-1884 was designed by C. Weber and marks the transition from neo-Gothicism to neo-Romanogothicism in this architect's career. The church was closed for safety reasons in 2005 and will, after restorations, be given a new function.

The church was closed in 2001 and is still awaiting a new function.
