  • This library is one of the most beautiful in the world. It looks like the library that inspired Disney for Beauty and the Beast. It is well worth a visit, about half way between Salzberg and Vienna.

  • Amazing Rococo style library. Simply incredible. The ceiling murals are fantastic and the old book collection is impressive to say the least. Gothic art exhibit is also not to be missed!
  • Stunning. Very special and very unique. Worth a visit.
  • Admont Abbey Library in Austria is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and one of the largest monastic libraries in the world. The library holds over 70,000 volumes and boasts magnificent frescoes and sculptures that adorn its walls and ceilings. The highlight of the library is the impressive seven-part ceiling fresco by Bartolomeo Altomonte, which depicts the stages of human knowledge. Visitors to the library are awed by the beauty of its design and the wealth of knowledge contained within its walls. Overall, Admont Abbey Library is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
  • The library is simply gorgeous and so are the grounds!
  • Absolutely beautiful Library. I absolutely love secret doors. And the stages of life statues were magnificent! My only regret is that we did not have enough time there.
