Geras Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Gemeinde Geras, Austria
The Geras Abbey complex includes a triple-aisle basilica, the Marble Hall with ceiling frescoes, and an extensive herb garden for medicinal plants.
The monastery, established in 1153 by Ekbert and Ulrich of Pernegg, survived multiple conflicts including the Thirty Years' War when only five monks remained.
The monastery maintains a collection of exhibitions including 'Abbey Treasures' and 'Herbalist Pastor Weidinger and His Abbey' within its historical walls.
The abbey provides guided tours through its buildings, gardens, and nature park, with opportunities to observe wildlife including lynxes and wild oxen.
The adjacent 132-hectare nature park houses rare animal species such as tarpans, creating an combination of spiritual and natural environments.
