Christmas magic for the whole family - Advent at Admont Abbey!

 

On Saturday, 6 December 2025, the Benedictine Abbey of Admont cordially invites you to the festive start of the Advent market! Abbot Gerhard Hafner OSB opens at 11:00 a.m. with a solemn Holy Mass The pre-Christmas season in the magnificent collegiate church - a special experience for young and old.

 

A highlight for the whole family...!

 

Marvel together at the famous, multi-figured "Stammelkrippe" - a true work of art of the nativity scene tradition, which can be admired in the collegiate church.

 

Discover the world's largest monastery library & nature museum!

 

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the breathtaking monastery library - open daily from 10:00 to 19:00. A particular favourite with children: the Natural History Museum with its many fascinating animal specimens and exciting discoveries.

 

Post to the Christ Child - an unforgettable experience!

 

The illuminated Christkindl post office awaits you in the centre of the festively decorated Hemmapark! Bring your letter with you or write it directly on site - and drop it straight into the letterbox. The Christ Child is sure to reply!

 

Dear children, dear families - come along and experience an Advent full of magic, joy and warmth of heart! We look forward to seeing you at the 26th Advent in Admont Abbey!
