Kremsmunster Abbey

This tentative UNESCO site is one of the largest abbeys in Austria, filled with over 1000 years of art and culture.

About

According to legend, Kremsmunster Abbey was founded in 777 by Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria on the site where his son had been attacked and killed by a wild boar during a hunting trip. Over the centuries, the abbey would be refined and expanded, eventually growing to be the second largest in Austria. Kremsmunster also excelled all other abbeys in all things culture, from books to art to learning. The abbey’s stunning 17th century Rococo library is one of the greatest in Austria, home to over 160,000 volumes, including the 9th century Codex Millenarius. Among the many priceless items in the treasury, the most prized is the copper and silver Tassilo chalice, which was donated by the Monastery’s founder. The abbey church is a stunning example of the Baroque style, filled with stunning stucco, and vibrant frescoes, which are kept company by beautiful tapestries.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
