Saint George's Abbey, Längsee, Benedictine monastery in Sankt Georgen am Längsee, Austria
The stone complex includes multiple wings, a church, educational facilities, and seminar spaces situated near Lake Längsee in Carinthia.
Countess Wichburg established the abbey between 1002 and 1008, with her daughter Hildpurg serving as the first abbess after arriving from Nonnberg Abbey.
The monastery underwent significant architectural changes, incorporating Roman foundations and Baroque elements added between 1654 and 1658.
The Diocese of Gurk maintains the site as an educational center with a functioning church, hotel accommodations, and meeting facilities.
The monastery operated an apothecary and cared for 500 invalids annually by 1683, while housing 31 nuns and 16 lay sisters.
