Big market round

Open

Impressive complete tour of St. Lambrecht, where we get to know the entire place!

A region in which daily life has been shaped by the Benedictines for around 950 years is, to a certain extent, brimming with culture and spirituality. But it's not just the Benedictines who have a positive impact on many things here, it's also the numerous people who are involved in clubs and thus form the cultural basis.
