Why go
Stift Klosterneuburg is a house of Augustinian canons in the town of Klosterneuburg, Lower Austria, outside the City of Vienna. Its history page (in German) says Margrave Leopold III had the foundation stone of the abbey church laid on 12 June 1114 and brought the Augustinian canons there in 1133, who have lived there since then except from 1941 to 1945, when the Nazis dissolved the abbey; about forty canons belong to the community today. The abbey's visit page says visits and guided tours start in the Sala terrena, an unfinished garden hall left as it was when building stopped in 1740, that the entry ticket can be extended with guided tours and includes the treasury with the Archducal Hat, and that the abbey church cannot always be visited because of Masses. Its page on the Verdun Altar, completed in 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun, says the altar is in the Leopold Chapel and can be seen as part of a guided tour of the abbey. XTOUR treats Vienna as a travel base for the abbey, not as its location.
