Wilhering Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Wilhering, Austria

The interior of Wilhering Abbey features colorful decorations, natural light streams, and ornate stucco work adorning the walls and ceiling of the church.

Founded in 1146 by Ulrich and Cholo of Wilhering, the monastery underwent reconstruction between 1733 and 1750 following a devastating fire.

The abbey church presents artistic elements from multiple periods, including altar paintings created between 1739 and 1741 by Martino Altomonte.

Visitors can explore the monastery through guided tours, which include access to the museum, gardens, baroque pavilion, and Biedermeier palm house.

The monastery organizes theater performances called Theater Spectacal Wilhering during July and August, combining religious heritage with performing arts.
