The foundation of St. Peter's Monastery by the Order of Augustinian Hermits took place in 1285. From this point on, the institution developed into an important spiritual center. The Augustinian Hermits were a mendicant order dedicated to pastoral care and study, which gave the monastery a special role in the city. Over the centuries, the complex underwent various phases of development and reconstruction, which shaped its current appearance.
