Established in 1293 as a Cistercian monastery by Bernhard of Prambach, Bishop of Passau.
Dissolved in 1786 during a period of radical social and political upheaval in Europe.
Refugee monks expelled from their own Abbey in Oelenberg, Alsace, France during World War I re-established the monastery in 1925. In 1930 it was elevated to Abbey under the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O “Ordo Cisterciensis Strictioris Observantiae”).
St.Engelszell as the currently sole Trappist Monastery in the country of Austria is situated in Upper Austria alongside the river Danube which has carved its way deep into the rocky hills of this sparsely populated area.
St.Engelszell is Member of the International Trappist Association (ITA) . In 2009 the ITA awarded its trade- mark protected label “Authentic Trappist Product” to Stift Engelszell’s portfolio of liquors. (St.Engelszell is also famous for its special “Engelszeller Kaese”). We hope that after the numerous controls of the International Trappist Association, the award of their label of authenticity could be granted to the St.Engelszell’s brews.
Both new Trappist brews are designed to reflect the unique history of St.Engelszell as well as the natural dramatic beauty and resources of the narrow “Danube” valley which has become home of St.Engelszell for so many years now.
Gregorious
[dark, strong, bottle/keg condi- tioned at around 9.7 % alc./vol.]
Named after Abbot Gregorius Eisvogel who first guided the refugee monks from Alsace/France to Abbey Mariawald and Abbey Banz [both Germany] until they reached their final destination, Stift Engelszell.
Abbot Gregorius then led the Trappist Monastery for over 25 years.
Its special recipe incorporates or- ganic honey from local beehives around St.Engelszell as well as the unique use of an “Alsacian wine yeast”.
Benno
[light in color, 7.2 % alc./vol., bottle/keg conditioned]
Named after Abbot Benno Stumpf who arrived at St.Engelszell after being expelled from Abbey Mariastern during World War II.
Under his leadership Stift Engelszell renovated its buildings and church which was built in the mid 18th century in a Rococo Style.
