The Benedictine Abbey of Admont - spiritual and cultural centre of Upper Styria
Since the foundation of their abbey, the Admont Benedictines have lived and worked according to this order for 951 years. The 26 monks are under the leadership of the freely elected superior, currently Abbot Gerhard Hafner O.S.B. They meet several times a day to celebrate the common choir prayer and Holy Mass. On behalf of all Christians, they do this in a special way for the intentions and needs of the time.
The foundation of Admont Benedictine Abbey dates back to a foundation for St Hemma of Gurk. It was carried out in 1074 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg. The first monks came from the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter in Salzburg. Today, the Abbey is the oldest existing monastery in Styria, where you can see its diversity and how diversity is created.
