Seckau Abbey, Benedictine monastery and cathedral in Seckau, Austria.
The abbey features a three-nave Romanesque basilica with three apses, constructed between 1143 and 1164 following Saxon architectural principles.
Founded in 1140 by Augustinian canons, the monastery received official recognition from Pope Innocent II in 1143 at Archbishop Konrad I's request.
The Angel Chapel contains frescoes depicting the Apocalypse, completed in 1963 by artist Herbert Boeckl, adding contemporary art to the medieval structure.
The monastery maintains a secondary school and operates Monday through Thursday from 7:30 to 17:00, with shorter hours on Friday until noon.
The abbey served as a burial location for the Inner Austrian Habsburg dynasty and appears on a 2008 Austrian euro collectors' coin.
