Petershausen Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Constance, Germany
The monastery stands on the northern shore of the Rhine River, directly facing the episcopal residence and cathedral of Constance.
Bishop Gebhard II of Constance established Petershausen Abbey in 983, bringing the first group of monks from Einsiedeln to form the religious community.
The monastery church contained the enshrined head of Pope Gregory I the Great, making it an important center of religious devotion in medieval Germany.
The abbey buildings now serve multiple functions, housing administrative offices, educational facilities, and the Archaeological Museum of Baden-Württemberg.
The monastery church was intentionally constructed facing west to mirror the design of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
