Description Destination
Nestled in the fertile landscape of the lower Lavant valley, the St. Paul's Abbey rises on a rocky cone. In 1091, Benedictine monks from the famous Hirsau monastery settled where a Roman fort and later the Spanheim castle once stood. An eventful history knows times of prosperity and decline. One of the most comprehensive private art collections in Austria gives the now flourishing abbey the title of Carinthia's treasure house. The monastery houses important art treasures from the Middle Ages, such as the large reliquary cross of Queen Adelheid of Hungary, the so-called Adelheid Cross. An enormous collection of valuable oil paintings also brings European culture to life in St. Paul. Enriched by the graphic collection of around 15,000 works, it is possible to meet almost all of Europe's well-known artists. The entire book collection of St. Paul's Abbey is distributed across several library rooms in historic vaults. There are around 70,000 books in the display library alone. The oldest book from the 5th century and Guttenberg's first printed work are among the most important pieces in the collection.
