Gleink Abbey, Baroque monastery and museum in Steyr, Austria.

The stone buildings of Gleink Abbey feature ornate exterior decorations, grand windows, and architectural details from the late 17th century construction period.

Founded in 1120 by Arnhalm I, the Benedictine monastery received its foundation charter in 1125 from Leopold the Strong, Margrave of Styria.

The Steyr-Gleink Stiftsmuseum displays religious artifacts, including paraments, candlesticks, reliquaries, monstrances, and chalices from different historical periods.

Located at Gleinker Hauptstraße 20b in Steyr, the museum maintains regular opening hours and offers guided tours through its religious collection.

The monastery gardens once contained stone dwarves, which were later moved to Schloss Lamberg, representing an unusual decorative element for a religious institution.
