Library of the Monastery

Excellent

Once we passed through the Paintings Gallery of the Monastery, we came to find the Hall of the Library which retains literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From there, we got to the room filled with fine philosophical works, and finally to the Theological Hall. This Hall is the largest and the best decorated in the whole theological literature library containing a collection of Bibles in over 40 languages, leather bound pork made in the mid-eighteenth century by Abbot Mickl Quirin. On the ceiling of this room is a fresco with biblical reason New Testament represented Jesus at the age of 12 years teaching in the Jerusalem church, the fresco is the work of Friar Luke Vavra.

As data today commenting that the library contains over 70,000 volumes, 200 manuscripts on parchment, and paper 1,000 400 incunabula.
