Gebhard's Day at Admont Abbey - in the footsteps of our founder
Today we celebrated Gebhard Day with pilgrimages to the star-shaped shrine, the day of remembrance in honour of our founder, Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg, who founded Admont Abbey in 1074. This significant anniversary reminds us not only of our roots, but also of the foresight with which Gebhard laid the foundations for intellectual and cultural life in the region.
Pilgrimages to the Shrine of St Gebhard
A particular highlight were the traditional star pilgrimages. Believers and visitors from Hall made the pilgrimage on foot, Frauenberg, Ardning and Weng to Admont. They are thus a visible symbol of solidarity, faith and community, which keeps Gebhard’s spirit alive.
It is therefore with gratitude and awe that we look back on more than 950 years History – and moving forward with confidence.
Admont Abbey - founded in 1074, grown through faith, supported by community.
