Göss Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Leoben, Austria
The monastery complex includes a late Gothic church structure with an early Romanesque crypt beneath the choir section of the building.
Founded in 1004 by Adula of Leoben and her son, the monastery received the status of Imperial Abbey from Henry IV in 1020.
The monastery functioned as an educational institution where daughters of Styrian nobility received instruction according to Benedictine principles.
The former abbey buildings now house the Brauerei Göß brewery, while the church remains accessible as a parish place of worship.
The monastery museum displays a special coffin from 1784 with a bottom-opening mechanism designed for multiple burials during financial reforms.
