Kloster Petersberg, Augustinian monastery on Petersberg mountain, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The stone monastery complex includes a cruciform basilica with rounded arches, thick walls, and a crossing tower on the highest elevation of Saalekreis.
Founded between 1124 and 1142 by Graf Dedo IV of Wettin, the monastery operated as an Augustinian canonry until its dissolution in 1565 during the Reformation.
The monastery serves as the burial site for the Wettin family, containing the tomb of Konrad the Great and his wife Luitgard.
The monastery complex forms part of the Romanesque Road tourist route and offers guided tours that explain its architectural features and monastic history.
The site transformed from a Slavic sacred place in the 8th century to a Christian chapel around 1100, established by the Archbishopric of Magdeburg.
