The construction of the collegiate church of St. Peter, a three-nave cruciform basilica with a large multi-part sanctuary and a mighty west transept tower, was begun shortly after 1124. It was consecrated between 1124 and 1151. Largely destroyed by a fire in 1565, the church stood as a ruin for centuries.
