In 1074, Benedictine monks from Salzburg founded their own abbey in Admont in Styria. Although it has changed several times over the centuries, it still stands on the same site. Visible from afar, framed by high mountains and frequented by around 80,000 visitors every year thanks to its unique collection of books and museums.

The Admont Abbey Library, at 70 meters long also the largest monastic book hall in the world, is undoubtedly the main attraction with its colourful ceiling frescoes, wooden sculptures and golden busts. However, a multimedia presentation of the monastery and the Museum of Contemporary Art are also impressive.
