Gebhard's Day at Admont Abbey - in the footsteps of our founder
Today we celebrated Gebhard's Day, the day in honour of our founder, Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg, who founded Admont Abbey in 1074. An important anniversary that not only reminds us of our roots, but also of the foresight with which Gebhard founded spiritual and cultural life in the region.
The traditional star pilgrimages were a particular highlight - believers and guests from Hall, Frauenberg and Ardning made the pilgrimage to Admont on foot. A visible sign of solidarity, faith and community that keeps the spirit of Gebhard alive.
We look back on over 950 years of history with gratitude and awe - and look forward with confidence.
Admont Abbey - founded in 1074, grown through faith, supported by community.
