Seckau Abbey
Seckau Abbey (German: Abbey of Our Lady) is a Benedictine monastery and Co-Cathedral in Seckau in Styria, Austria. Seckau Abbey was endowed in 1140 by Augustinian canons. An already existing community in Sankt Marein bei Knittelfeld was moved to Seckau in 1142. This establishment was dissolved in 1782. At the request of Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg, Pope Innocent II instituted the founding of the congregation and the transfer to Seckau on 12 March 1143. The abbey church, a Romanesque basilica, was built from 1143 to 1164, and was consecrated on 16 September 1164. In 1883 the monastery was resettled by Benedictines from Beuron Archabbey, who had had to leave Germany because of the Kulturkampf. In 1940 the monks were evicted by the Gestapo and the buildings were confiscated. In 1945 the monks were able to return. The abbey maintains a secondary school ('Gymnasium') and carries out the duties of the pastoral care belonging to a parish. It is part of the Beuronese Congregation within the Benedictine Confederation.
