The former Premonstratensian monastery of St. Maria in Griffental, called Stift Griffen for short, is located west of the market town of Griffen in Carinthia. It consists of a Romanesque collegiate church in its core, the baroque collegiate buildings adjoining it to the north-west and is surrounded by a high, Gothic defensive wall. The construction of the monastery in the first half of the 13th century significantly influenced the development of the region and the market town of Griffen.
