One place. A thousand stories. In 1114, Klosterneuburg Abbey was founded by Margrave Leopold III. For over 900 years, history has been written here and stories have been told. It is those stories that we have collected over the centuries – they make our spirituality as well as the close connection of this house to Austrian history tangible. The story of the Verdun altar (1181) illustrates the history of the abbey’s spirituality as well as its closeness to the people. The altar, apart from its material splendour, served one purpose above all - to make the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Mass easier to understand, even for those who were unable to read and write. The laying of the foundation stone for the abbey church (1114) is a symbol for the abbey’s longevity and its responsibility to create. At this event, wine from its own winery was served. It is the oldest winery in Austria, which has been run by Klosterneuburg Abbey since the Middle Ages.
Lovely place, definitely take a look at the website for information. We did a 12:30 tour, it was in German and we were given an audio guide, which had plenty of information. We also did the wine cellar tour, both were with the same woman. Note that the wine tasting at the end was essentially 2 half glasses of wine, very little explanation. We did buy a bottle of wine and a bottle of juice to take away. Both were delicious We walked from the train stop, nice little town along the way and stopped for a bite to it in a cafe. There was a restaurant on the property too. Visited in early February and saw maybe 40 people there in 4 hours. Tip: take headphones that can be plugged into the audio guide, easier than holding the machine to your ear.
