Lambach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Lambach, Austria
The halls of Lambach Abbey contain Romanesque frescoes from the 11th century, along with significant Baroque architectural elements throughout the structure.
Count Arnold II of Lambach-Wels established the monastery in 1040, and his son Bishop Adalbero transformed it into a Benedictine abbey in 1056.
The monastery theater at Lambach Abbey represents one of the remaining period stages in German-speaking regions, maintaining its original function for performances.
Visitors can join guided tours from Easter Sunday through October 31, with daily presentations starting at 2 PM to explore the abbey's cultural treasures.
The monastery garden features an unexpected collection of Baroque dwarf statues, while the former abbey tavern displays an ornate Baroque facade.
