St.-Peters-Stift, Imperial monastery on Petersberg in Goslar, Germany

St.-Peters-Stift consisted of a basilica with a westwork, transept, and crossing tower, measuring 46 meters in length on Petersberg hill.

Empress Agnes of Poitou established St.-Peters-Stift in 1045, receiving imperial privileges from Emperor Henry III that elevated its religious and political standing.

The monastery held substantial influence as several of its provosts advanced to prominent positions within the church and empire during medieval times.

Archaeological excavations conducted since 1871 allow visitors to observe the preserved foundation walls that outline the original church layout.

The monastery met its end in 1527 when Goslar citizens deliberately destroyed it to prevent its use during a conflict with Duke Henry of Brunswick.
