The first baroque impression is deceptive: Geras Abbey is originally a medieval complex - the collegiate church, the cloister and the adjoining rooms were always rebuilt on the floor plan of the original complex. The massive pillars of the first three-aisled basilica from the 12th century are still visible under the stucco marble in the church. One of the treasures of the monastery is the so-called Marble Hall above the main portal. The ceiling is adorned with a magnificent, signed fresco by Paul Troger, and the exterior facade bears the handwriting of Jakob Christoph Schletterer.
