live and work for well over 800 years now.<br />

A lot of effort was needed to establish the<br />

centre of the upper Mühlviertel district.<br />

40 canons liv<strong>in</strong>g at the abbey take c<strong>are</strong><br />

of 24 different parishes. There <strong>are</strong> many<br />

religious celebrations held together. Life<br />

follows the rule of Sa<strong>in</strong>t August<strong>in</strong>e and<br />

the spirit of Sa<strong>in</strong>t Norbert, founder of the<br />

Premonstratensian religious order.<br />

Apart from that, the abbey itself is<br />

an <strong>im</strong>portant economic hub for the <strong>are</strong>a.<br />

“Schlägl beer” is known well across the<br />

borders.
