The choir , nave and tower of the church were created in 1708 by master mason Balthasar Thalhammer from Moosburg on the Isar in the Baroque style. According to plans by the Munich architect Georg Berlinger , the building was extended to the west by an octagonal dome in 1928. In 1947 the tower was raised by three meters.
altar
The altar shows in the center a wooden figure of the church patron Simon Petrus, about 140 centimeters high. In the side niches there are two smaller figures showing John the Baptist and the Evangelist John . The late baroque altar was built in Surberg around 1710 . It was acquired in 1962 by the Schweinersdorf pastor Ferdinand Hasenöhrl and placed in the parish church.
