Monastery
Ora et labora et lege – pray and work and read!
Since the monastery was founded, the Admont Benedictines have been working according to the Rule of St Benedict of Nursia for almost 950 years.
Our Benedictine monastery was founded in 1074 – a long history; but a young, Christian, contemporary spirit hopefully thrives within our walls.
Seeking God with the message and person of Jesus Christ and the mindset of St Benedict is the foundation on which we stand and thus want to be there for the people of our time: in church, through social work, through education, culture and in the economy.
