Klosterneuburg

About

Famed in Austria for its quality of life, the charming Viennese forest community of Klosterneuberg has high cultural, recreational and leisure standards and boasts high-end shopping facilities. Set above the town is Klosterneuberg Monastery, comprised of spectacular buildings that span six centuries. These include one of the most beautiful abbey churches in Europe, which features the famous golden Verduner altar panels, regarded as a true masterpiece. While the exquisite architecture and the well-preserved buildings are pure eye-candy for history buffs, the interiors of the buildings can also be explored. There are three tours available — the sacral tour of the interiors, the abbey and the museum. When combined with the stunning location, 900 years of pre-Hapsburg Austrian history and the wine tasting that is freely available in the nearby vineyards, cellars, and wine shops then time spent in Klosterneuberg makes for an invaluable experience no visitor is likely to forget in a hurry.
