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...!
