Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Ratisbonne, Benedictine monastery in Regensburg, Germany

The stone walls of Saint Peter's Abbey rise near Regensburg's main station, featuring traditional monastic architecture with a church and cloister layout.

Irish monk Marianus Scottus established the monastery around 1070, creating a foundation that attracted numerous monks from Ireland to settle in Germany.

The monastery developed into a center of Irish-Scottish culture in medieval Germany, maintaining extensive libraries and supporting scholarly activities through centuries.

The original buildings were demolished in 1552, but visitors can explore the area around Petersweg and Peterstor to discover historical references.

According to medieval records, the monastery's location was chosen after Marianus Scottus received guidance through a dream about a small church dedicated to Saint Peter.
