Stift Klosterneuburg

In the 12th century an Augustine canonry was founded here by Margrave Leopold III, now Austria's patron saint. Ever since, the Augustine order has been working here to develop the monastery into a centre of religious life, culture and scholarship – and running a famous vineyard on the side. Visitors can see Leopold's medieval grave in the old chapel, together with the stunning 45-paneled Verdun Altar from 1181, and the beautiful Baroque complex around it.
