Monastery St. Peter, Bludenz

Monastery St. Peter is a Benedictine monastery in Bludenz that houses both a religious community and agricultural facilities within a stone building complex in the Vorarlberg region. The site developed over centuries and includes church and residential spaces alongside agricultural buildings for working the surrounding lands.

The monastery was founded as a Dominican institution and later developed into a Benedictine center with an important role in the region. The site is now protected as an Austrian historical monument and preserves its structure from various building phases.

The monastery is led by the Diocese of Feldkirch and follows Roman Catholic traditions that shape daily life within the community. Visitors can experience the sacred spaces and their meaning for the local faithful.

The monastery is located at St.Petersstrasse 45 and remains accessible throughout the year for visitors interested in religious services or the site itself. Visitors should note that visiting times and service hours may vary, and it is best to check ahead with the community.

The combination of religious and agricultural functions is typical of Austrian monasteries and shows how communities historically lived self-sufficiently. This dual purpose remains partially active today, making it a rare example of this traditional way of life.
