A place for peace
In the second half of the 13th century, a Romanesque church was built at Weerberg. This church was enlarged and converted to Gothic style in 1441. A second extension became necessary in 1715. Already before World War I, efforts were made to restore the church but this could not be begun with until 1929. The solemn consecration of the restored St Peter Church was carried out by Innsbruck diocesan bishop Reinhold Stecher on 12 July 1987.

Of the Gothic church built in 1441, only the tower with its coupled acoustic windows and pointed spire remains. After its demolition in 1870, only a bay with a lunette barrel vault remained of the Baroque aisle.
The broad transept with a flat cupola in the centre and lateral chapels with transverse barrel vaults features curved skylights. The pilasters, chancel and transept chapels have Rocaille decorations. Karlheinz Köll from Seefeld restored or augmented the frescoes by Imst painter Josef Jais between 1981 and 1987. In the chancel, these frescoes depict the Last Supper. The central ceiling fresco, surrounded by four pendentive paintings depicting the martyrdom of St Peter and Paul the apostle, shows the handing over of the key of heaven to St Peter.

The Transfiguration of Christ is depicted in the entrance area. Above the window on the right side of the side chapel, the fresco with the marriage of Mary and Joseph is shown. In 1784, Josef Anton Zoller painted the picture of the baroque high altar (panel painting, handing over of the key from Jesus to St Peter, who is kneeling before Christ). The people's altar by Hans Knapp from Weerberg organically blends in with the church inventory and is well worth seeing. The altar came about on the occasion of the churche's patrocinium in June 1989.
