Nestled between the blue Danube and lovingly tended vineyards, just a few stops from Vienna, lies the picturesque Klosterneuburg, a significant place in the history of Austria's origins.
Over 900 years ago, in 1114, Leopold III, Margrave of the Babenberg dynasty and patron saint of Austria, laid the foundation stone for this special place. Visitors can expect to discover many fascinating stories. The medieval Verdun Altar (1181) tells the story of the Bible in impressive images, and the wine cellar has always been a highlight, reopening in 2024 after a redesign. It's an atmospheric tour that engages all the senses and captivates with its light installations. An immersive and enriching experience for wine lovers, tourists, and anyone who wants to learn more about viticulture and the world of wine. Following the current exhibition, "Cards on the Table" (May to November 2026), visitors can embark on a journey of discovery into the abbey's treasury. The absolute highlight here is the sacred crown of Austria: the Archduke's Hat.
Highlights:
- Guided tours of the Verdun Altar or the wine cellar, which can be booked on-site, bring the history of this place to life.
- Austria's oldest winery offers you the opportunity to enjoy a guided wine tasting as part of the wine cellar tour.
