Beautiful view and a bit less motorway noise for once.

It is worth taking a short break here

Stams Abbey – a Baroque gem on the Inn Valley Cycle Path – is a magnificent Cistercian monastery in the Tyrolean Inn Valley, founded in 1273. It is particularly famous for its Baroque abbey church with twin towers, the richly decorated high altar, the princely crypt, and the atmospheric Bernardi Hall. Today, the abbey is not only a spiritual center, but also a place of education (with its own high school) and culture. Due to its location directly on the Inn Valley Cycle Path, the abbey is an excellent destination or stopover for cyclists. The tranquil abbey courtyard, the café in the abbey area, and the opportunity to take a guided tour offer cyclists a relaxing and culturally enriching break. The view of the surrounding Tyrolean mountains also makes the visit worthwhile.

History of the Cistercian Monastery of Stams The Cistercian Monastery of Stams was founded in 1272 by Count Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol as a burial place for the Tyrolean princes in memory of the last Hohenstaufen dynasty, Conradin, and settled a year later. The monastery's Baroque and Rococo furnishings date from between 1650 and 1750. A monastery school has been documented since the 17th century. The monastery was dissolved in 1807 and re-established in 1816 under Emperor Francis I. In 1938, the foundation was dissolved again by the Nazi regime. A new beginning was made in 1945. Monks from the Cistercian monastery of Stična (Parakeet) in Slovenia made a significant contribution to the abbey's revival.

The History of Stams Abbey The first documented mention of "Stambs" dates back to 1065, when a document describes a fiefdom of the noble family of Wangen in the central Inn Valley, with a settlement and a much-visited pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Stams Abbey was founded in 1273, when the founding convent, led by the first abbot, Heinrich von Honstetten, moved into Stams. Count Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol had intended to establish a monastery here some time before, which would henceforth serve as the burial place of the Counts of Gorizia-Tyrol. The popular legend surrounding the founding of the monastery is now considered historically refuted, but it clearly demonstrates the connections of the Counts of Tyrol and their class consciousness: It states that the founding of the monastery was due to the gruesome death of the last Hohenstaufen, Conradin (beheaded in Naples in 1268). Conradin's mother, Elisabeth of Wittelsbach (d. 1273, her first marriage to the Hohenstaufen King Conrad IV), is said to have asked her husband, Count Meinhard II, to establish a memorial for her unfortunate son ("Mors Conradini – Vita Stamsii"). The mother monastery, the Cistercian monastery of Kaisheim (north of Donauwörth in Bavaria), was closed at the beginning of the 19th century as part of the secularization process.
