The church of Saints Peter and Paul in Katowice was built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, as the seat of the second Roman Catholic parish in the city. The designer of the church was Joseph Ebers, a building advisor to the diocese from Wrocław. The neo-Gothic church is made of brick, on a Latin cross plan. Interestingly, in the years 1925-1957, it served as the cathedral church of the diocese of Katowice
