The Admont Benedictine Monastery is celebrating its anniversary this year: in 1074, Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg placed his seal on the founding document. The celebration of the 950th anniversary with fairs, concerts or a special exhibition in the museum will also attract international attention, because the monastery is world famous.
An icy wind whistles around the ancient stone walls of Admont Abbey, which have withstood many storms. It was not until 1865 that they were unable to withstand a fierce fire storm. On the afternoon of April 27, a courtyard in the middle of the city went up in flames – the arsonist is said to have confessed his crime in the face of God only on his deathbed – and in no time the fire burned through the dense rows of houses.
