Göttweig Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Furth bei Göttweig, Austria.
The monastery stands on a hill covered with vineyards and forests, offering views across the Wachau Valley and Danube River regions.
Established in 1083 by Bishop Altmann of Passau, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1718 following a fire, under architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt.
The abbey maintains a collection of 150,000 books, manuscripts, religious engravings, coins, antiquities, and musical documents in its extensive library.
The monastery welcomes visitors daily from March through November, with guided tours in German offered three times per day at specific hours.
The imperial staircase features the largest Baroque fresco in Austria, depicting Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI as Apollo, painted by Paul Troger.
