Founded in 1114, Stift Klosterneuburg is one of Austria’s most remarkable cultural treasures. Located only minutes from Vienna, this extraordinary abbey has combined history, faith, art, and wine culture for over 900 years — creating an unforgettable destination rich in heritage and living tradition.

The canons serve in parishes across Austria and abroad, including ministries in the U.S., creating a living bridge between cultures.
