Stift Dürnstein, Monastery and historic site in Dürnstein, Austria.
The Dürnstein Abbey complex includes a Gothic church, priory buildings, and a tower featuring blue and white coloring against the Danube River.
Founded in 1372 as a Mary Chapel by Elisabeth von Kuenring, the monastery underwent expansion when Augustinian Canons from Bohemia settled here in 1410.
The abbey museum presents exhibitions centered on the themes of goodness, beauty, and truth through architectural and religious artifacts.
Regular church services occur every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the abbey church, with prior mass at 8:15 a.m. in Loiben parish church.
The monastery tower, completed in 1733, stands as a central marker in the Wachau Valley, visible from multiple points along the Danube.
