If you like to be amazed about how impressive can a book collection be, then you need to visit Admont Abey library. The church is realy nice renovated, cleen and perfect example of an impressive piece of history from year 1370 until today. I can also recomand the garden and the restaurant in the complex of the Abey. I can only recomand these place. ADVEICE: to see everything nicely and enjoy it, you need to spend about 3-4 hours there.

The Abby was build in 1076 and with that is the longest occupied monestery in the county of Styria. It houses the largest monastery library in the world at least size wise, it shows emarkable cupola frescoes, the late Baroque library hall commissioned by Abbot Matthäus Offner (term of office: 1751 – 1779) was finally completed in 1776. It was riginally designed in 1764 and constructed in the following years by the Austrian master builder Josef Hueber (1715 – 1787).
This is really worth a visit! Beautiful library, nice museum and the garden looks gorgeous. You should also really visit it during the 'Klostertage' (usually in August) then they have a small market with regional products they sell and some nice, live and regional music :)
Most beautiful library I have ever seen. There was a young lady giving a tour in German. When she was finished I asked if she could tell us some information in English. Her English was phenomenal and she really knows her stuff. She was a great tour guide. My wife doesn't normally like things like this but she loved it. The other museums are worth walking through also.
Built in 1776, the Admont Abbey Library is the largest monastery library in the world. The ceiling is adorned with frescoes depicting the stages of human knowledge up until the Divine Revelation. The entire design reflects the ideals and values of the Enlightenment.
An incredible collection of books in a beautiful Rococo library. A real treasure and well worth half a day of your time if history, art and books are your thing.
Biggest religious library room in the World with Natural and other museums make it a worthwhile visit esp on a rainy day.
