    The Lambach Benedictine Abbey is on the Way of St. James. In the inner courtyard you will find comfortable, wide wooden benches between the floral decorations. The pilgrim's stamp can also be asked in the inner courtyard, where a monastery restaurant invites you to stop.

      The monastery was founded in 1056 by Bishop Adalbero and is approaching its 1000 year anniversary. The Romanesque frescoes in the west choir date from the 11th century, otherwise the Baroque style predominates. The monastery on the river experienced many good years, but also bad years, but Lambach Abbey has survived to this day.

        At the time the monastery was founded, Lambach was the seat of the Counts of Wels-Lambach. Saint Adalbero, Bishop of Würzburg, was the son of this noble family. The founding of the monastery in 1056 by converting it into a Benedictine monastery goes back to Bishop Adalbero. He died in Lambach in 1090, his grave with a cover plate is in the baroque collegiate church.

        Among other things, the monastery contains the oldest Romanesque frescoes in the southern German-speaking region and the Baroque theater from 1770, the oldest playable theater in Austria. 15 members of the order are currently serving in the monastic community. Guided tours of the monastery take place daily at 2 p.m. from Easter to All Saints’ Day.

        It has a very eventful history, in recent times, for example, due to unwanted "tourism" or as the location of the "People & Horse" state exhibition in 2016.
