Abbey of Saint Peter in the Black Forest, Benedictine monastery in Sankt Peter, Germany
The monastery complex consists of a Baroque church with twin towers, extensive library halls, and courtyards surrounded by residential buildings for monks.
Founded in 1001 by Agnes von Rheinfelden, the monastery initially served as the burial site for the Zähringen dukes throughout medieval times.
The monastery church features elaborate frescoes, sculptures by Josef Anton Feuchtmayer, and a high altar with changeable paintings from 1727.
The spiritual center offers religious workshops, meditation sessions, and accommodations for visitors seeking spiritual guidance in the Black Forest region.
The monastery remains the sole Baroque-era structure in the Black Forest region maintaining its original architectural form from the 1720s construction.
