Municipality of Grünau im Almtal - mountaineering village

With the founding of the Benedictine monastery of Kremsmünster by Duke Tassilo III in 777, the landscape around the Alm was gradually brought to the forefront of history. When the monastery was badly affected by the Hungarian invasions in the 10th century, it also lost the area around the Almsee. In 992, Count Arnold von Lambach returned the fishing in the Almsee and the pastures on the Kasberg to the monastery. After the Hungarian invasions, a descendant of this count, St. Adalbero, founded Lambach Abbey in 1056. He had inherited the area around Grünau and cultivated it with his monks.

The name Gruona appears for the first time in 1160. Kremsmünster left no stone unturned to regain the lost territory. In 1224, the Grünau parish land fell to Lambach.
