Stift Pöllau, Augustinian monastery in Pöllau, Austria.
The former Augustinian monastery features a large central dome and extends across multiple buildings with symmetrical wings and detailed stone facades.
Founded in 1504 when eight canons relocated from Vorau, the monastery functioned until 1785 when Emperor Joseph II's reforms led to its closure.
The church interior contains extensive frescoes by Mathias von Görz depicting saints and martyrs, without using traditional stucco decorations.
The monastery complex now houses a music school, exhibition spaces, and the European Center for Physics History, Echophysics, established in 2010.
The church design mirrors St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, earning it the regional name 'Petersdom of Styria' with its 62.5-meter-long nave.
