Lower Austria
Zwettl Abbey
Cistercian monks live and pray at the
abbey since 1138. Today, the focus is on
spiritual formation. The abbey runs an
educational institute, a boys’ choir, a private
vocational school and is constantly working
on its offers for tourism. Its material wealth is
largely built upon forestry and fishing rights.
Nearly untouched landscapes surround the
abbey in the Waldviertel district – a sparsely
populated area in the Northwest of Lower
Austria. People looking for peace and
recreation will find ideal conditions here.
The medieval building structure is largely
intact and open for visitors thanks to guided
tours. Thanks to the Roman-Gothic style
cloister as well as the capital hall, visitors feel
like a part of Monastic life for the last 850
years. The abbey church is the spiritual centre
of the building complex, temporarily closed due
to renovation works.
During times of church renovation, the
library is open for visitors. Wide parklands
recently re-established are a source of
happiness and life.
