Zwettl Abbey church

The stone church features a three-nave hall with an ambulatory choir and a ring of fourteen chapels arranged in a circular pattern.

The Gothic monastery church from the 14th century stands as a central achievement of Austrian High Gothic architecture within the Zwettl Abbey complex.

The church interior displays the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architectural elements, with rounded arches in older sections and pointed arches in later additions.

Visitors can explore the church and its surroundings through audio guides available at the ticket office from May to September during opening hours.

The church's baroque west front, designed by architect Matthias Steinl, features a tall tower that breaks from traditional Cistercian architectural principles.
