About the region
The market town of Seckau in the Mur valley is best known for its Benedictine abbey. This was founded as early as 1140 as an Augustinian choir monastery and is still a popular attraction for people today. The abbey is nestled in the foothills of the Niedere Tauern and lies on a high plateau. In the Middle Ages, the monastery was not only the seat of the bishop of the diocese of Seckau, but the canons were also known for their book paintings, which were made in the writing workshops. Emperor Leopold I visited the monastery in 1660 and granted market rights to the market town. In Seckau there are also some special excursion destinations to discover, such as the Weiermoarteich, the Schachenkirche or the Tremmelberg.
For gourmets, the Hofwirt offers a breathtaking ambience to pamper its guests and the sweet specialities of the Regner confectionery.
