Stams Abbey is one of the most important monasteries in Austria. It was founded in 1273 as a family foundation of the Counts of Görtz Tyrol. The museum is closed in winter and the interior of the monastery cannot be visited. However, a visit to view the impressive building from the outside is still worth it.
Today's monastery was rebuilt in the 17th century after a number of destructions (a fire, looting, damage from the Peasants' War) and completely renovated at the beginning of the 21st century.
