St. Georgenberg-Fiecht Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Vomp, Austria

St. Georgenberg Abbey is a Benedictine monastery on a rocky outcrop above the Stallental valley in Stans, Tyrol. The present Baroque church of Saints George and James, built after the 1705 fire, was finished in 1735, with frescoes added in 1863 and further alterations in 1866. The white-walled complex has a tall main block and a lower wing, both with brown hipped roofs, and a low white stone wall with pillars runs in front.

The monastery began as a hermitage in the 10th century and received official Benedictine recognition in 1138. After several fires, the community moved to Fiecht in 1708, where it remained for several centuries.

Pilgrims venerate Saint George, a Gothic Pietà carved around 1415, and the reliquary of the Holy Blood, kept after a reported blood miracle around 1310 and still shown in a monstrance. The Pietà stood in the small Lindenkirche, a stone church dedicated to Saint Mary from about 1230, until it was moved to the rebuilt church of Saints George and James in 1736.

The Hohe Brücke spans the Georgenbach at a height of just over 40 metres; its foundations date from the late Middle Ages and it was restored by 1709 after the 1705 fire. Many pilgrims walking up from Stans instead take the route through the Wolfsklamm gorge. The abbey stands at 898 m above sea level and cannot be seen from the Inn valley.

After more than three centuries at Fiecht, the monastic community returned to its original location in 2019 and resettled at Georgenberg. This move marked the end of a long absence and reconnected the present-day monks with the site's earliest origins.
