Propstei Johannesberg, Benedictine monastery and parish church on Johannesberg hill in Fulda, Germany
The monastery features baroque architecture with a central church, residential palace, and multiple terraced gardens spread across different levels of the hillside.
Founded in 811 as St. John's Church, the complex served as a subsidiary monastery under Abbot Rabanus Maurus and housed relics of early Christian martyrs.
The monastery contains a permanent exhibition of historic half-timbered German building models within the Johannesberg Handicrafts Collection, displaying regional construction methods.
The State Palaces and Gardens of Hesse maintains the site, which now houses organizations focused on monument preservation, tourism, and professional training.
The second floor banquet hall preserves original ceiling paintings by Fulda court painter Emanuel Wohlhaupter from the 18th century.
