Gleink Abbey, another former Benedictine monastery in the Steyr area, offers a quieter but equally historic experience. The abbey church features a mix of Gothic and Baroque elements, with a striking high altar and delicate frescoes. The surrounding buildings, including the former dormitory and refectory, now house local institutions but retain their historic character. Visitors can stroll through the abbey grounds, which include a small park and a pond. The site is less crowded than Garsten, making it ideal for those seeking a contemplative visit. The nearby Steyr River adds to the pastoral atmosphere.
