Rein Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Gratwein-Straßengel, Austria.
The stone structures of Rein Abbey include a church with Romanesque foundations and additional buildings renovated in Baroque style between 1738 and 1747.
Founded in 1129 by Margrave Leopold the Strong of Styria, this monastery became a center where local nobility pledged allegiance to Rudolf of Habsburg in 1276.
The monastery library maintains a collection of over 100,000 items, including manuscripts and incunabula, serving as a repository of medieval and early modern texts.
Visitors can explore the Gothic Chapel of the Cross, constructed between 1406 and 1409, through guided tours that present the architectural elements of the abbey.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 uncovered the foundations of the former Romanesque chapter house and the tomb of founder Margrave Leopold I of Styria.
