Säusenstein Abbey, Gothic monastery in Ybbs an der Donau, Austria.
The stone walls of Säusenstein Abbey rise along the banks of the Danube River, featuring pointed arches and tall windows characteristic of medieval architecture.
Established in 1334 by nobleman Eberhard of Wallsee, the abbey served as a Cistercian community until Emperor Joseph II ordered its dissolution in 1789.
The abbey functions as an educational center where religious studies and community service activities contribute to the preservation of Cistercian traditions.
Located at coordinates 48.1917 latitude and 15.1147 longitude, visitors can access the abbey through marked pathways along the Danube River valley.
After surviving Turkish invasions and Napoleonic wars, the abbey transformed from a military hospital into an experimental agricultural institution between 1939 and 1945.
