St. Peter's Chapel is located in the Berghof district. It sits at an altitude of approximately 843 meters, atop a gentle hill ("Bergrücken").

From there, one has a magnificent view of the Alps, the surrounding lakes, and famous castles such as Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau on clear days.

Traces of St. Peter's Chapel existed as early as the 15th century. The first recorded consecration dates back to 1429, in honor of the apostles Peter and Paul.

In 1476, there was another consecration, for Peter, Paul, and the Holy Trinity.

During the Thirty Years' War, during the plague epidemic, the dead were buried near the chapel, in an adjacent cemetery.

In 1683, a storm severely damaged the church, and in 1684-1685 it was rebuilt in the Baroque style by the architect of the Wessobrunn school, Johann Schmuzer.

The tower with its smooth, circular dome was added in 1895. Interior renovations and decorations were also carried out around 1890/1910.

A sacristy was added in 1995-1996.

Surrounding the church is a wooded landscape, benches for resting, a small green area, and panoramic panels that help identify the visible mountain peaks.
