Cultural Heritage of our Country

A few remnants of the abbeys medieval buildings have remained: Parts of the Erentrudis Chapel (built in 1072) and the Old Fortress, the Crypt with the Reliquary of our founder Saint Altmann, the Gothic Choir of our Church, and a part of the Medieval Cloister, the "Lapidarium".

Today's Baroque Monastery Complex was built according to plans of the Emperor's architect, Lucas von Hildebrandt, during 1720 to 1740, after the old Monastery was almost totally destroyed by fire in 1718.  » Museum - Concerts - Visiting hours

The showrooms in the Museum in the Imperial Wing, the monumental Imperial Staircase with the Ceiling Fesco painted by Paul Troger (1698-1762) in 1739, the Imperial Rooms and the Altmann Hall, as well as the Monastery Church with the Old Cloister are special sights, which should be seen by all visitors to Göttweig.

 

The Göttweig Monastery Concerts and the Annual Exhibit "Göttweiger Klostergeschichten" of treasured items from the Monastery's rich art collection enrich the cultural presentations in Göttweig.
