Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul (Liechtenstein)

Weather…

The Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul in Mauren is a significant example of Neoclassical sacred architecture in Liechtenstein. The current house of worship was built between 1842 and 1845 according to the plans of architect Peter von Lutterotti. It replaced a much smaller predecessor church whose foundations dated back to the 9th century, highlighting the long Christian tradition of the site. The church is striking for its clear lines, monumental facade, and prominent bell tower that dominates the skyline of Mauren. Inside, visitors find a solemn atmosphere characterized by Neoclassical design and careful subsequent additions. Particularly noteworthy are the altars and religious art that underscore the liturgical significance of the building. In the 1980s, the church underwent extensive renovation to secure the building's structure and restore the aesthetic impact of its architecture. As the center of the Mauren parish, it is not only a place of religious devotion but also a venue for high-quality church concerts. The church is a protected monument under the care of the state and the municipality.
