Kremsmünster Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Kremsmünster, Austria.
The monastery complex features a Gothic church with Baroque alterations, multiple courtyards, and a tall astronomical observatory reaching 51 meters high.
Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria established the monastery in 777 after his son Gunther died during a hunting incident in the surrounding forests.
The monastery library maintains a collection of 160,000 volumes, including the Codex Millenarius, an illuminated manuscript from approximately 800 CE.
The monastery offers guided tours through its museum, mathematical tower, treasury, and wine cellar between April and October by advance reservation.
The monastery houses the Tassilo Chalice, an 8th-century decorated cup made of copper with silver and niello inlays, representing early medieval craftsmanship.
