Viktring Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Klagenfurt, Austria
The abbey complex stands with its pillar basilica design, featuring Gothic additions and extensive baroque modifications from the 18th century.
Founded in 1101 by Count Bernhard of Spanheim, Viktring Abbey received its first monks from Weiler-Bettnach in Lorraine, establishing a religious center.
The monastery became a gathering point for the Viktring Artist Circle, attracting notable creators like Markus Pernhart and Hans Gasser.
The former abbey now houses a federal secondary school specializing in arts education and hosts the annual Musikforum Viktring Klagenfurt since 1987.
The monastery's original church contained important stained glass windows installed around 1400, with its Marian altar now displayed in Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral.
