Seitenstetten Abbey<br />
Embedded <strong>in</strong> the gently roll<strong>in</strong>g hills<br />
of the green Mostviertel district, <strong>our</strong><br />
abbey was founded <strong>in</strong> the early 12th<br />
century. Because of the dist<strong>in</strong>ct quadrangular<br />
farms <strong>in</strong> the surround<strong>in</strong>gs, the build<strong>in</strong>g was<br />
referred to as the „quadrangle c<strong>our</strong>t of God“.<br />
Seitenstetten welcomes its visitors with a rich<br />
history and cultural tradition, which you can<br />
experience through personalised church t<strong>our</strong>s,<br />
a visit to the knights’ chapel, the abbot staircase<br />
as well as the festival halls. Truly remarkable is<br />
the library of the abbey, which is a harmonious<br />
masterpiece. The gallery, with more than 1.000<br />
exhibits, covers many different periods <strong>in</strong> art<br />
history.<br />
Embedded <strong>in</strong> the daily rhythm of the<br />
pray<strong>in</strong>g monks, you will discover the peace<br />
as a sooth<strong>in</strong>g power <strong>in</strong>side the build<strong>in</strong>g. 21<br />
guest rooms <strong>are</strong> designed to provide you with<br />
