From 1867 to 1872 Karl Kaufmann built the neo-Gothic town church Peter and Paul. The church has seven entrances, at the main entrance is the baptistery built in 1933. The pulpit has been moved twice, as you can see from the footsteps on the central pillar of the church. The bells, which had been taken down during the Second World War to melt down, were fortunately recovered after the war on the bell cemetery near Hamburg and brought back.

A church in Münchberg is mentioned in documents since 1388. It is probable that a place of worship already existed in the 12th century. After several fires, the remains of previous buildings were demolished in 1864, and in 1867 the foundation stone of the current church was laid. The building, erected by Karl Kaufmann as a Neo-Gothic sandstone block building with a seventy-meter-high tower, is the seventh place of worship at this location. In 1931, the Neo-Gothic altar was purchased, a replica of a work by Veit Stoß.
