A place of culture and encounter

Provostry St. Gerold

Nature, art, culture and cuisine open the heart and the senses! Visit the Provostry (Propstei) of St. Gerold!

Over the past decades, the Propstei (Provostry) St. Gerold has established itself as a cultural and social centre where further education, art and music are highly valued and people meet. A wide range of offers in the seminar and cultural area would like to create oases and time windows for people, places to meet, to laugh, to come to rest. Art and music are a focal point in the annual programme of the Provost’s Office St. Gerold, which has been very carefully and successfully renovated in recent years, also in the spirit of Vorarlberg’s wooden architecture. It is also possible to stay overnight in the Propstei – the rooms have also been newly renovated, in the restaurant you will be spoilt with regional and seasonal products.
