Admont Benedictine Abbey - Baroque Library

The Baroque Library (72m/236ft long, 14m/46ft across), in the east wing of the Admont Benedictine abbey, is the most important part from the point of view of art history. Its main features are the ceiling frescos by Altomonte, the statues representing the "Four Last Things" (Heaven, Hell, Death and Judgment), and the larger than life-sized statues of the prophets Moses and Elias and the apostles Peter and Paul. The library contains well over 100,000 volumes, including 1,100 manuscripts and 900 early printed books.
