Benediktinerkloster Schweinfurt
Benediktinerkloster Schweinfurt, Benedictine monastery and church in Peterstirn, Schweinfurt, Germany
Located at the eastern edge of Schweinfurt above the Main River, the monastery complex includes multiple buildings, altars, and a historical bell tower.
The monastery was established around 1003 by Markgräfin Eilica von Schweinfurt after her husband's defeat in the Schweinfurter Feud against King Heinrich II.
Between 1183 and 1195, Bishop Otto of Eichstätt consecrated several altars at the site, including dedicated spaces to All Saints, Silvester, and Felicitas.
The site currently houses a winery in the Sattler buildings from 1874 and maintains status as an archaeological monument under the Bavarian State Office protection.
During railway construction planning, workers discovered an underground crypt while excavating the Peterstirn hillside for construction materials.
