St. Gabriel's Priory

The community was founded as a priory in 1889 in Smíchov, now part of Prague, and was raised to the rank of an abbey in 1893.

After World War I, the predominantly German-speaking community relocated from the newly-independent Czechoslovakia to Schloss Bertholdstein, a castle in Pertlstein in the present municipality of Fehring in Styria.

[2] In October 2007 the nuns joined the Federation of Sisters of St. Lioba and, as a priory once again, moved to Sankt Johann bei Herberstein in the municipality of Feistritztal, Styria, in November 2008.

[2] The main source of income of the community is from making vestments and church embroidery and taking care of guests.
