Stift Kremsmünster

Kremsmünster Abbey - A Living Monastic Community Since 777, a monastic community has lived, prayed, and worked in the Benedictine Abbey of Kremsmünster. Today, 36 monks strive to realize the directives of the 1500-year-old Rule of Saint Benedict in the 21st century. The monastery is primarily a place of spiritual life, which finds diverse expression: in the liturgy, as a spiritual center for its parishes, and in its commitment to culture and education in the Gymnasium (grammar school) and the monastic collections. Furthermore, the abbey is also an important economic enterprise and employer. There is much to discover with us; we look forward to your visit!
