The Church of St. Peter is especially important to the people of Bruchsal. Not only is it the work of the famous Baroque architect, Balthasar Neumann, but it was also the only church in Bruchsal to survive the Allied bombing of the town in March 1945 unscathed. The church as it stands now is over 250 years old. Intended as a parish church and as a final resting place for the Prince Bishops, it is built in the shape of a Greek cross, meaning that the nave and transept are both 50 metres long.

The barrelled ceiling is 16 metres high and underneath the 22-metre-high central dome, there is a crypt containing the mortal remains of Bruchsal's Prince Bishops. The two towers are both three storeys (58 metres) high and contain one of the oldest – intact – Baroque church bells in north Baden.
