Justizanstalt Stein, Penitentiary in Krems, Austria.
The second largest prison in Austria occupies a former monastery building and includes both modern security installations and protected historical structures.
Established in 1850, the facility transformed from a Redemptorist monastery into a prison designed to hold 800 inmates, though capacity was reduced to 350.
The former monastery church within the prison complex serves as a protected cultural monument, designated number 130110 in the Austrian registry.
Located at Steiner Landstraße 4 in Krems, the facility houses male inmates serving sentences longer than 18 months, including life sentences.
The prison operates three external branches in Mautern, Oberfucha, and Krems an der Donau, bringing the total capacity to 805 inmates.
