Stift Waldhausen, Baroque monastery in Waldhausen im Strudengau, Austria.
The Stift Waldhausen monastery features eight side chapels and displays detailed frescoes throughout its interior, reflecting 17th-century architectural patterns.
Count Otto von Machland and his wife Jeutta Peilstein initiated the foundation of this Augustinian monastery on May 16, 1147, originally at Säbnich.
The monastery holds organ concerts during Waldhausener Advent celebrations, with the December 8th Christmas music performance drawing numerous attendees.
Visitors can explore the monastery between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM daily, with guided tours available in German and English upon reservation.
The name evolved from 'Domus Silva', meaning house in the woods, as the Augustinian canons relocated to their current forested location after Count Otto's death.
