  • The Benedictine Abbey sits on the top of Gottweig Mountain overlooking the Wachau Valley and thousands of acres of farmland. There was so much fog we never got to see the abbey until we were right...

  • A grand exterior perched high above the surrounding vineyards with a particularly elaborate baroque interior. Busy Sunday services. Gregorian chanted vespers sound enhanced by fantastic abbey...

  • Large, well-preserved monestary on top of a mountain with beautiful views. The church was lovely with soft color decor. The hall with the great ceiling fresco was memorable. Side rooms also painted with interesting water motifs. The tour was informative. The apricot nectar and wine tasting was nice. Beautiful views off the top of the exit area.
  • What an amazing abbey this is the architecture is magnificent and the size of this is unbelievable you can spend all day looking around and the views are to die for the gift shop is good too it can get very busy but definitely worth the visit
  • If you have a couple of days in the Wachau valley, this abbey is worth a visit. Melk abbey is slightly more magnificent and if you are in short of time, opt for melk. Otherwise you will not be disappointed with this masterpiece. We stayed at the guesthouse but it was really hard to find the reception. Very disorganised on this side.
  • Beautiful place with beautiful views. Go to the right of the church to see the great view. Note that the visit of the cathedral is free of charge.
  • Always worth a visit. Impressive abbey where Name of the Rose was filmed. The Kaiser quarters were a bit expensive to enter and no information was made available. The staff at reception should be more helpful.
