For over 700 years, the monks developed St. Peter into a cultural and political center that radiated throughout the Black Forest. For more than 160 years, the former abbey served as a seminary, and since 2006 it has been the spiritual center of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. With its rococo library and magnificent baroque church, the former Benedictine monastery is one of the most magnificent examples of baroque architecture in southern Germany. The former abbey is still the center of the hospitable village. It welcomes St. Peter's guests from afar, and in its shadow, in the monastery courtyard, concerts, festivals and markets take place throughout the year.
Experiencing St. Peter means: enjoying nature, relaxing, hiking through valleys, meadows and forests and over heights with incomparable views of the Black Forest. Experiencing St. Peter means enjoying music, be it performances by the numerous local groups, organ concerts or the annual classical music concerts. Experiencing St. Peter means: appreciating tradition and customs, preserving the tried and true, enjoying the traditional costume group and the farmer's market.
