St. Peter and Paul is a Catholic filial church in Lindenfels in the Bergstraße district of Hesse. Although it was only consecrated in 1745, it is the oldest church in the town.
History
A Catholic community in Lindenfels only formed after the readmission of Catholics in the Electoral Palatinate in 1685. Initially, the Catholics used the castle chapel of Lindenfels Castle, which had been abandoned since the Reformation, before they began building their own church on a specially fortified plateau on the way up to the castle from 1727.
The church construction was financed through collections approved by Elector Karl III Philipp, through compulsory labor, and fines, and took several years. The shell of the building was completed in 1732, and the church was consecrated in 1745. In 1893, a sacristy was added to the church, and the windows were altered in 1896. A major renovation took place in 1974.

Geschichte
Eine katholische Gemeinde bildete sich in Lindenfels erst nach der Wiederzulassung von Katholiken in der Kurpfalz 1685. Die Katholiken nutzten zunächst die seit der Reformation aufgegebene Burgkapelle der Burg Lindenfels, bevor sie ab 1727 am Aufgang zur Burg auf einem eigens dafür befestigten Plateau eine eigene Kirche zu errichten begannen.
Der Kirchenbau wurde über von Kurfürst Karl III. Philipp genehmigte Kollekten, über Frondienst und über Strafgelder finanziert und zog sich über Jahre. 1732 war der Rohbau fertig, 1745 wurde die Kirche geweiht. 1893 wurde eine Sakristei an die Kirche angebaut, 1896 wurden die Fenster verändert. Eine umfangreiche Renovierung fand 1974 statt.
