A church has stood on this site for centuries. Originally a Romanesque church, it was replaced in the middle ages by a Gothic structure. Then in the early 1700's a Baroque church was built. That stood until the evening of March 16, 1946 when the British fire-bomb attack on Würzburg killed 5000 civilians and destroyed the old town including St. Peter's church. It was rebuilt in 1953/54 faithfully reproducing the exquisite Baroque exterior.
