Saint Paul's in Lavanttal Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Sankt Paul im Lavanttal, Austria
The monastery complex includes a Romanesque pillar basilica with a double tower facade and substantial religious buildings from the 17th century.
Founded in 1091 by Count Engelbert of Spanheim, the monastery experienced multiple closures, including during the Nazi period from 1940 to 1945.
