Kloster Ramsau bei Haag, Monastery in Ramsau, Germany
Kloster Ramsau bei Haag is an Augustinian monastery in the same-named village, mainly characterized by a three-story Baroque wing with a hipped roof from 1731. This structure in the southern section of the complex forms the core of the visible complex today.
The monastery was founded in 1412 by Jörg von Frauenberg, lord of Haag, and dedicated to Saint Mary, Augustine, and George. It emerged from a desire to establish a religious center in this region.
The monastery served as a creative center where Augustinian friar Theodor Grünberger composed numerous musical works between 1756 and 1820. This artistic activity shaped the spiritual life of the community and left behind a rich musical heritage at this location.
The grounds can be viewed from outside today as part of a social facility, with the Baroque architecture visible from a distance. Visitors should remember this is an inhabited location with private grounds where respecting the residents is important.
A chronicler named Franz Dionys Reithofer documented the monastery's history in 1815 using previously unknown sources. His careful historical work preserves knowledge about this place's development to this day.
