Klosterneuburg Monastery

Legend has it that Margrave Leopold III founded Klosterneuburg Monastery at the spot where he found his wife Agnes' veil, which had been carried off by a gust of wind at their wedding celebration many years before. Today, more than 900 years later, there is scarcely another place in the German-speaking world where spiritual life and worldly life have melded into such a unified whole. The credo of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine reads: "Our spirituality gives meaning and direction to what we do." This spirituality is tangible the moment you enter the venerable walls and natural gardens of this monastery, whose history the Danube has helped to shape.

The diversity of the monastic gardens, formed in part by the mighty Danube, promises enchantment at every turn. Visitors become part of a grand history, a history that began in ancient Rome and ends with a stop at the oldest wine estate in Austria.
Experience a Danube garden and a world within venerable walls that are determined by the grand history of this place, by work in harmony with nature, by respectful treatment of people and the environment, and by openness to new ideas.
