Dorotheerkloster, Vienna, Augustinian monastery in central Vienna, Austria
The monastery featured a three-naved basilica with large tracery windows, complex rib configurations, and a monumental baroque facade with two towers.
Founded in 1414 by Albrecht V, the monastery remained active until 1786 when Emperor Joseph II dissolved it during his religious reforms.
The monastery maintained an extensive library containing theological manuscripts and served as a center for education and pastoral care in Vienna.
The former monastery location now houses the Palais Dorotheum, while the tomb of Niklas von Salm has been relocated to the Votivkirche.
During its peak, the Dorotheerkloster ranked among Vienna's most affluent religious institutions, alongside the Schottenstift monastery.
