Ascend into regal serenity in Klosterneuburg, Austria’s most magnificent riverside monastery town just 15 minutes north of Vienna, where the breathtaking Klosterneuburg Monastery (Stift Klosterneuburg)—founded in 1114 by Margrave Leopold III—rises in baroque splendor with its twin onion domes, the famous Verdun Altar (one of the world’s most precious medieval enamel works), the imperial apartments of Emperor Charles VI, and the vast wine cellars producing excellent Klosterneuburg wines from the surrounding vineyards. Wander the peaceful monastery gardens and courtyards with panoramic views over the Danube Valley, explore the charming old town with its historic Rathaus and cozy Heuriger wine taverns, or simply relax along the Danube promenade with cycling paths, river cruises, and the gentle rhythm of a town that feels like a quieter, more spiritual extension of Vienna’s imperial past.
Savor crisp Grüner Veltliner and rich Zweigelt wines straight from the monastery cellars, hearty Wiener Schnitzel, fresh apricot dumplings, and nutty Stiftskäse cheese amid baroque arches, Danube breezes, and the unmistakable sense of a place where faith, wine, and history have lived side by side for 900 years.
Klosterneuburg isn’t just a destination—it’s Austria’s most majestic Danube-side monastery town of art, wine, and timeless tranquility—plan your Klosterneuburg escape today!
