Kloster Pulgarn, Gothic monastery near Steyregg, Austria

The T-shaped Gothic church building stands within an extensive economic complex, featuring medieval architectural elements and stone decorations throughout its structure.

Founded in 1303 by Hans von Kapellen and Margaretha von Falkenberg, the monastery included a hospital for poor and sick people near Steyregg Castle.

The monastery church contains a replica of a late Gothic organ with five registers, installed in 2015 to maintain the location's musical traditions.

The church opens daily with free admission, while guided tours in German and English require advance booking for groups of 3 to 35 people.

During the 1940s, the Augustinian Canons from St. Florian Abbey sought refuge at Pulgarn after the Nazis confiscated their original monastery.
