Klosterneuburg, Riverside municipality in Lower Austria, Austria
Klosterneuburg is a Danube municipality in Lower Austria that stretches across hills on the western riverbank, nestled between Vienna Woods and Kahlenberg mountain. The landscape shifts between open areas and forested slopes that give the location a varied geography.
The settlement grew from a Roman fortress called Asturis and later developed around a castle and Augustinian monastery founded by Margrave Leopold III in 1100. This foundation shaped the area's growth for centuries afterward.
The abbey shapes the town's character with its prominent architecture and religious heritage that draws visitors interested in medieval craftsmanship. The settlement has developed around this monastery and remains closely tied to its spiritual identity.
The town is best explored on foot or by bicycle, though hills can be steep and paths wind through wooded areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time for breaks, especially when exploring higher sections.
The Institute of Science and Technology Austria, a leading research center, operates within the municipality and investigates physics, mathematics, and biological sciences. This facility is recognized for pursuing advanced projects with international partnerships.
