The church was built between 1890 and 1892 according to plans by the architect Schneider (Bous). After the Second World War , the church underwent its first restoration from 1947 to 1948 . The 1950s were characterized by further reconstruction, restoration and expansion measures. A hall was built and side aisles were added. In addition, renovations were carried out that resulted in the removal of the arcades and the replacement of the vaulted ceiling with a coffered flat ceiling . Architect Josef Wilhelm Stockhausen ( Neunkirchen ) directed these measures. 1973 to 1974 there was a further renovation and redesign of the interior, in which the painter Wilhelm-Alois Kurz (Neunkirchen) acted as a consultant.
Other items of equipment include an altar , ambo , tabernacle stele , benches, four stone seats and a priest's seat by the sculptor Ernst Gier (Bous) from 1973 to 1974, a paten and a censer by goldsmith Hans Alof (Trier), the tabernacle by goldsmith Egino Weinert ( Cologne ) three green chasuble and dalmatic (with accessories), sister military Busch (Trier) and a red chasuble and a black cope, the workshops in New Beeken.
organ
The organ of the church was built in 1955 by the French organ builder Haerpfer & Erman ( Boulay ) and has two manuals and a pedal . The previous instrument destroyed in World War II was also a Haerpfer organ and probably had around 21 stops . A sound document of the organ is available with the CD recording Christmas - Organ Music at Christmas Time, Cantor Andreas Hoffmann at the Haerpfer-Erman organ in St. Peter Bous by Andreas Hoffmann. Until 2011 the organ had 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal.

In January 2007, the non-profit association “Katholischer Orgelbauverein St. Peter Bous e. V. ”, which has set itself the goal“ to advertise the restoration of the organ in St. Peter Bous and to procure the necessary funds ”.
From October 2011 to October 2012 the instrument was completely renovated by the organ builder Thomas Gaida ( Wemmetsweiler ) . Numerous extracts give a total of 46 from the actual 29 registers. In addition, an old English celesta is built in. The manual works Hauptwerk , Schwellwerk I and II are not subject to any fixed assignment and can be freely linked to the two manuals. The Bombardwerk takes its pipes out of the pedal, and thanks to the individual tone control, each of these stops can be played individually on the 1st or 2nd manual, which also applies to the celesta. The current disposition is:
