Mondsee Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Mondsee, Austria
The Gothic basilica features pink marble columns, intricate vaulted ceilings, and multiple altars decorated with detailed carvings and religious artworks throughout the interior.
Duke Odilo of Bavaria established the monastery in 748 on Roman settlement ruins, leading to its growth as an important center for manuscript production in Upper Austria.
The abbey church gained international recognition as the filming location for the wedding scene in the 1965 production of The Sound of Music.
Visitors can reach the abbey by car within 30 minutes from Salzburg, with parking facilities available near the entrance of the church complex.
The front altar contains preserved remains of religious figures, including Abbot Konrad II who died protecting the monastery rights in 1145.
