110% worth the drive from Vienna! Admont Abbey Library is so breathtaking in person that no photo could do it justice. Every inch is stunning from the floor to the ceiling. I'm not surprised it's called the 8th wonder of the world by some. The other attractions at the Abbey were very interesting (my family particularly enjoyed the science exhibits), and the grounds were relaxing and beautifully maintained. Best of all crowds were practically non-existent compared to other cultural attractions in major cities in Europe. I would consider this a hidden gem 💎💎💎

I have been wanting to see this Library and the grounds for nearly 20 years. And finally had the opportunity. Ohhhh it is stunningly beautiful, and the story of its founding and survival from the fire is amazing. The natural history Museum and the Church and the entire town are absolutely a must see. Vielen Dank für alles !

The Admont Abbey Library in Austria is a Baroque masterpiece built in 1776. It is the world’s largest monastic library.The monastery's entire library collection consists of around 200,000 volumes, including manuscripts and rare books. It's a hidden gem for lovers of history and books.

It is such a beautiful library! It is straight out of a fairytale! I would recommend visiting it. The tickets for 2 people were about 48€

What a gem! It is definitely worth to take a guided tour and get to know all about the library and its hidden corners.

Absolutely worth the detour to see this library. It's like stepping into the Beauty and the Beast fairytale, it's magical. It's also less known, which makes it less busy and easier to enjoy. The ticket is a bit expensive, but worth it. You don't need to buy tickets in advance. Make sure you have time to walk around, as the ticket includes other exhibits. Furthermore, there's the church and gardens near the library you can see and the village itself is charming.
