St. Lambert's Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Sankt Lambrecht, Austria

The monastic complex stands at 1,072 meters elevation within the Styrian Grebenzen nature reserve, featuring two churches and extensive gardens.

Count Markward IV of Eppenstein established the abbey in 1076, which underwent periods of dissolution between 1786 and 1803, followed by Nazi occupation from 1938.

The Abbey Church contains 15th-century frescoes depicting biblical scenes, including the Judgment of Solomon and the Virgin Mary with Jesus.

Guided tours operate from May 15th to October 15th, with the large pen tour lasting 90 minutes and covering the art collection, treasury, and museums.

The monastery houses three specialized museums: an art collection, a folklore museum by Father Romuald Pramberger, and a bird museum by Father Blasius Hanf.
