St. Johannes Evangelist und Petrus, Monastic church in Ursberg, Germany.

The building features a three-nave pillar basilica structure with an octagonal tower and onion dome, incorporating both Romanesque and Baroque architectural elements.

Following destruction during the Thirty Years' War, architect Christoph Weigel supervised the reconstruction between 1666 and 1674, reusing existing Romanesque materials.

The interior contains ceiling frescoes by Jakob Fröschle and Konrad Huber, along with a high altar created by Johann Wagner and Johann Pflaum in 1733.

The church maintains regular parish services and houses two organs, including a main instrument with 26 stops built by Johann Nepomuk Holzhey in 1776.

Four historical bells occupy the tower, including a 1250-kilogram bell from 1653 dedicated to Saints Honorat and Claudius.
