Ossiach Abbey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ossiach Abbey (Stift Ossiach) was a Benedictine monastery in Ossiach near Feldkirchen in Kärnten in Austria.
The monastery was founded in about 1024 and extensively altered in the Baroque period.
From 1641 until its dissolution it was a member of the Benedictine Salzburg Congregation.
It was dissolved in 1783, after which the buildings were used as a barracks. In 1816 the premises were largely demolished.
Between 1872 and 1915 the few remaining buildings were again used as a barracks and as stabling. Since 1995 the premises have been owned by the administration of the Austrian state of Carinthia.
The abbey site is one of the venues of the annual music festival "Carinthian Summer".
