The neo-gothic church was built in 1878-1880 and designed by the architect Charles Demaeght.The church interior stems from an older period. The stone font dates from 1597 and the two confessionals are early 18th century.In 1896 the brothers Adrien and Salomon Van Bever (Laken) were asked to build an organ for the new church which they made in the then-favoured romantic style. Each Spring an organ festival is organised. The organ is currently being restored by Jean-Pierre Draps from Kortenberg.
For the jubilee celebrations of the Saint Peter congregation, Robert Van den Haute, Jean-Paul Denis and Guy Paulus published a book: '900 years of christian presence in Jette, 1095-1995'. They especially draw attention to the organ and on following interior church elements:
The tomb of the family de Villegas in the left aisle is in black marble with the coat of arms in white marble. This noble family was the ruler over the county of Saint-Peter, Jette.
The wood carvings are worth a closer look, such as the confessionals with medaillions of St. Hieronymus (left side), St. Gregory the Great (on the right) and St. Peter (above the left altar, with a cockerel on the left).
The procession banners belong to fraternities, lay organisations devoted to spiritual goals. These fraternities existed within the congregation from the 18th to the start of the 20th century.
