Experience one of Tyrol's most important architectural monuments with us!
Are you a highly qualified professional, scientist or researcher? Have you recently moved to Tyrol from abroad to work long-term in a Tyrolean company or at a Tyrolean university?
We are delighted that you are here and would like to invite you to a new event:
On Friday, June 6, 2025, the Welcome Service Tirol is organizing a guided tour of the Cistercian monastery Stift Stams (Stams Abbey), founded in 1273. Nestled in the picturesque Inn Valley between Imst and Seefeld, Stift Stams is one of Tyrol's most fascinating architectural monuments. The remarkable monastery houses a number of architectural and artistic treasures. Highlights include the magnificent basilica with its high altar designed as a tree of life and decorated with 84 sculptures from around 1610, the imposing Bernardi Hall (Bernardisaal), the peaceful courtyard Brunnenhof with its cloister, and a museum that illustrates the history and culture of the monastery. Let yourself be enchanted by the atmosphere and beauty of this unique place!
Following the tour, we would like to invite you to a relaxed get-together in the Orangerie Stams restaurant. There you will have the opportunity to make new contacts and exchange experiences.
We look forward to spending a wonderful afternoon together! Partners are also very welcome!
