Collegiate Church of St. Peter and St. John the Baptist

Collegiate Church of St. Peter and St. John the Baptist, Romanesque parish church in Berchtesgaden, Germany.

The church features two neoromanesque towers reaching over 50 meters high and contains a three-nave basilica with Gothic elements and marble monuments.

The initial consecration of the church took place in 1122 under Archbishop Konrad of Salzburg, marking the completion of the first construction phase.

The interior holds numerous marble tombs of prince-provosts and a high altar from 1661-1669 that mirrors the design of Salzburg Cathedral.

The church provides partial barrier-free access and parking facilities, allowing visitors to explore the architectural features and attend regular services.

The preserved cloister displays architectural decorations that demonstrate the monastery's connections to the Staufer royal dynasty during the Middle Ages.
