Ossiach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Ossiach, Austria.
The monastery complex includes a church with Romanesque foundations, Gothic modifications, and Baroque decorative elements, situated near Lake Ossiach.
Founded around 1001, Ossiach Abbey emerged as the first Benedictine monastery in the Duchy of Carinthia, established by Count Ozi from the Styrian Otakar dynasty.
The former monastery functions as a primary venue for the Carinthischer Sommer classical music festival, hosting church opera productions and concerts since 1974.
The abbey premises, owned by Carinthia's administration since 1995, maintain regular visiting hours and offer guided tours through its historical architecture.
A tomb embedded in the church's northern wall reportedly contains the remains of King Bolesław II of Poland, who lived at the abbey as a mute penitent.
