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.

The actual name of the monastery is St. Maria in Griffental and it was opened in 1272. Later buildings were added.
