The impressive Benedictine monastery was built in 1083 for a canonical community and handed over to the Benedictines eleven years later. By the middle of the 18th century, the magnificent building was made what today proudly towers at 422 meters above the Danube. The monastery has also been a World Heritage Site since 2000.

There is a museum in the imperial wing of the abbey. After the tour, you can dine in the abbey restaurant.

You can find the opening times of the museum, the restaurant and services here: stiftgoettweig.at/site/info/oeffnungszeiten

A spiritual center in the heart of Lower Austria since 1083
The Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig, perched at 422 m above sea level on the eastern edge of the world-famous Wachau Valley on the Danube, is impossible to miss. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, it is not only a magnet for visitors from all over the world, but also a spiritual center in the heart of Lower Austria, sustained by a community of 34 monks.
