The lady's German name is still clearly visible. Is she the owner of the house?

This church was dedicated to the two saints PIOTRA i PAWLA, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed; according to the Roman law of the time, this was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

There is also an art exhibition in this building. I find these very worth seeing.

A first church building in the same place, dedicated to the apostle Peter, was mentioned in 1208. Between 1328 and 1378 the church was rebuilt under master builder Wiland based on the model of the Elisabeth Church in Wroclaw. The church was consecrated on September 20, 1342 under Bishop Waclaw and received Saint Paul as the second patron. Between 1370 and 1378 the church was further expanded. Master builder Konrad from Kraków was in charge. The Gothic main portal on the north-west side of the church dates from this period. Between 1378 and 1390 the interior of the church was designed by Klaus Parlirer, with the window frames being made in the Gothic style. 15 chapels were built along the aisle by the 15th century. After Duke Friedrich II introduced the Reformation in his Duchy of Legnica in 1522/23, the church served as a Protestant church. After a fire in 1835, the church was rebuilt under designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel.[1] The restoration or conversion of the church from 1892 to 1894 based on a design by Johannes Otzen led to fundamental changes, especially on the outside. The main facade, which remained unfinished, was supplemented by a southern tower with a neo-Gothic spire and the historical substance of the entire building was greatly changed by facing with new bricks and new building sculptures. In contrast, the valuable interior of the three-aisled hall church was preserved. After the transition to Poland in 1945, it was handed over to the Catholics. A Marian figure in the main portal that was removed at the end of the 19th century was reattached after the re-Catholicization and the figure of Martin Luther that was inserted at this point was removed. His quote from the 19th century: “Here I stand. I can't help it. God help me. Amen. Worms 1521" was preserved and is now apparently put into Maria's mouth.[2] On March 25, 1992, the church was elevated to the status of a cathedral under Pope John Paul II and has since served as the main church of the Legnica diocese.

It is 82 m high. It is called Hejnalica or Strażnica – Excubiarum. It was built on a square plan, and at the height of the ninth floor it turns into an octagon, pierced with pointed-arch recesses, housing two floors of windows. The individual floors of the tower are separated from each other by stone cornices. Once upon a time, there was a clock with moving figures on the tower.
