architecture
The former, irregularly laid out side wings of the former women's choir are located separately in the south and south-west on the edge of the slope terrace of the parish church and separately in the north-west of the parish church, structurally connected to a late medieval gateway to the monastery.
The south-western wing is a one to two-story building over high basements. Here a steep staircase with irregular step heights has been preserved in the building wing. The facade has slit-shaped loopholes and cast stone blocks in the plaster. The facade shows a wall painting Crucifixion with Mary and John in a wide landscape around 1530 in a frame in Renaissance forms. A baroque inscription gives the year 1722.
The church square between the rectory and church was named Florian-Kuntner-Platz in 2004 and redesigned with a labyrinth in 2008 with architect Karl Ringhofer.
The north-western, elongated two-storey utility wing of the former Maierhof of the women's choir has wide barrel vaults with stitch caps. The arched gate passage is a structural connection to the monastery. A heraldic cartouche with the designation DH has been preserved above the gate and shows the renovation information 1974.
