Schlierbach Abbey, Baroque Cistercian monastery in Schlierbach, Austria
The limestone walls of Schlierbach Abbey rise among green meadows, featuring baroque architecture with a prominent bell tower and light-filled corridors.
Founded in 1355 by Eberhard von Wallsee, the abbey transformed from a nuns' convent to a monks' monastery in 1620 following the Protestant Reformation period.
The monastery library holds manuscripts from the 18th century, while the church displays an organ built by Valentin Hochleitner starting in 1770.
The abbey offers guided tours, cheese-making demonstrations, glasswork exhibitions, and dining options at the Genusszentrum restaurant throughout the year.
The monastery maintains its own cheese production facility, creating varieties including St. Severin, while operating a recognized stained glass workshop.
