Stiftskirche St. Lambrecht

The Stiftskirche stands within St. Lambert's Abbey complex at 1072 meters elevation, featuring Gothic architecture and medieval frescoes on its north wall.

Following a devastating fire, the original Romanesque basilica from 1160 underwent reconstruction into a Gothic hall church, completed in 1421.

The church holds important 15th-century frescoes depicting biblical narratives, including the Judgment of Solomon and representations of Saint Christopher.

The church maintains regular services while offering guided tours that include access to the medieval architecture and historical art collections.

During World War II, the church and abbey premises served as auxiliary facilities for the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp from 1942 to 1945.
