Muri-Gries Abbey, Benedictine abbey and winery in Gries district, Bolzano, Italy
The architectural complex incorporates a medieval castle, featuring tall towers, defensive walls, and a Baroque church with extensive frescoes by Martin Knoller.
The site transformed from an Augustinian monastery in 1406 to a Benedictine abbey in 1845 when Austrian authorities transferred it to Swiss monks from Muri.
The Saint Augustine Collegiate Church represents the finest example of late-Baroque architecture in Bolzano, containing seven altar pieces and painted vaults.
Visitors can explore the abbey grounds daily between 9:00 and 19:00, attend German-language services on weekends, and arrange wine tastings at the monastery.
The bell tower contains South Tyrol's heaviest bell, weighing 5,026 kilograms, while the cellars produce distinguished Lagrein wines from 35 hectares of vineyards.
