Seitenstetten Abbey, Benedictine abbey and museum in Seitenstetten, Austria
The Seitenstetten Abbey complex includes Gothic architecture elements, a Romanesque Knights' Chapel, and conventual buildings constructed between 1718 and 1747.
Founded in 1112 by Udalschalk, the monastery received its first group of Benedictine monks from Göttweig Abbey in 1114, with the church consecration in 1116.
The abbey maintains a library of 55,000 volumes, including 270 manuscripts and 230 incunabula, alongside artworks by Paul Troger and Bartolomeo Altomonte.
Visitors can explore the picture gallery, historical garden with 110 rose varieties, and religious artifacts throughout the monastic buildings.
The monastery oversees fourteen parishes in the region and continues its centuries-old tradition of Benedictine education and spiritual guidance.
