The Benedictine monastery Admont was where I was heading. The abbey was founded in 1074, but in 1865 an enormous fire destroyed almost all of it. Unlike other, similar cases, the monastery was rebuilt though.
To be honest, the church looks new. Somehow the patina is missing, and although it is not apparent upon first view, a feeling of fake is always present. Nevertheless, the architecture is pretty impressing. You’ll see more of it in the next post.
