Rein Abbey
The Cistercian abbey Rein (Latin:
runa) has been founded in 1129 as
the 38th abbey of its religious order.
However, as the other 37 abbeys before have
faded over the course of history, Rein is the
oldest and continuously active Cistercian
abbey worldwide. It was granted to a
community of Cistercian monks by Duke
Leopold I von Steyer during the times of
Saint Bernhard. Rein is located 15 km north
of Graz. The first monks to arrive came from
Ebrach in the Franken country. Recent renovations
brought to light interesting finds
from the Gothic and Roman ages.
Our guests live, pray and eat with our
monks. They decide for themselves what else
they would like to share. Some prefer to take
a lonesome walk, whereas others are happy
for the company of one of our monks.
Everybody estimates the peace and quiet
in this valley besides the Mur river.
