Mekhitarist Monastery of Vienna, Armenian Catholic monastery in Neubau, Vienna, Austria.
The Mekhitarist Monastery extends along Mechitaristengasse with four floors, displaying Renaissance Revival architectural elements designed by Joseph Kornhäusel in 1874.
The monastery originated when Armenian monks relocated from Venice to Trieste in 1773, later moving to Vienna in 1805 following Napoleon's invasion.
The monastery library maintains 2,800 manuscripts and 170,000 volumes, serving as a primary center for Armenian literature and historical documentation.
Located at Mechitaristengasse 4 in Vienna's Neubau district, the monastery welcomes visitors to explore its extensive collection of Armenian artifacts and manuscripts.
The monks produce Mechitharine, a herbal liqueur created in 1889, which represents their main source of income alongside property rentals and guided tours.
