An engraving of the monastery by Jacob Lamb in 1596.

The Augustiner-Chorfrauenstift was a Augustinian nunnery in what is now Bad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. It existed between 1140 and 1669. It was known in the Middle Ages as the Monasterium or coenobium S. Petri apud (or prope or iuxta) Crucenacum monialium ordinis S. Augustini. In 1669 parts of it were converted into the Schloss Oranienhof, which was destroyed in 1689 and partly rebuilt early in the 19th century. From 1834/42 to 1929 the site was also occupied by the Hotel Oranienhof.
