The St. Lambrecht Abbey, officially the Benedictine Abbey of St. Lambrecht (Latin Abbatia Sancti Lamberti or Monasterii Sancti Lamberti), is a Benedictine abbey located at 1,028 meters above sea level in Sankt Lambrecht in the Austrian federal state of Styria. The name goes back to the monastery's patron saint, Saint Lambert.

The monastery was founded in 1076 by the Carinthian Margrave Markwart von Eppenstein. His son, Duke Henry III of Carinthia (who is buried here in the founder's crypt), completed and completed the foundation of the monastery until his death in 1122, when the Eppenstein family died out. He endowed the convent with a rich endowment for the maintenance and cultivation of art and science. It is not known from which Benedictine mother monastery the first monks came. The first church in the 11th century was the "Church of Saint Lambert in the Forest", in the immediate vicinity of which the monastery was built before 1076. In the 12th century it was replaced by a Romanesque basilica, which was consecrated in 1160. It was almost the size of today's collegiate church. In 1157, the place of grace Mariazell in Upper Styria was founded by the Benedictines of St. Lambrecht and, after an interruption from 1949 to 1992, is now again looked after by St. Lambrecht.
