Thierhaupten Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Thierhaupten, Germany.
The monastery includes several structures such as the main church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, cloister buildings, and a boundary wall.
Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria established the monastery in the 8th century, which later became a possession of the Augsburg bishops under Carolingian rule.
The monastery name derives from animal heads displayed at a former pagan shrine, as evidenced by a stone head discovered in 1776.
The complex stands at Klosterberg 7 in Thierhaupten, near the Lech River and the city of Augsburg in Bavaria.
The municipality purchased and renovated the deteriorating structures in 1983, preserving them after the last abbot secured the church as a parish in 1812.
