Admont Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Admont, Austria
The Admont Abbey Library extends 70 meters in length and contains 70,000 volumes within its white and gold Rococo-style bookcases.
Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg established the monastery in 1074 using the inheritance from Saint Hemma of Gurk, with monks from Saint Peter's Abbey.
The central dome of the library displays frescoes by Bartolomeo Altomonte depicting divine revelation through interconnected themes of religion and science.
Visitors can access the library through the museum located on the first floor of the south wing of the monastery building.
The library floor features 7,000 diamond-shaped stones made of white, red, and gray marble arranged in geometric patterns.
