Propstei Zwettl, Medieval provost church in Zwettl, Austria

The Propstei Zwettl complex includes a Romanesque church, St. Michael's Chapel, a cemetery with a Romanesque charnel house, and the provost building.

The Kuenringer ministerial family established the church on Propsteiberg at the end of the 11th century, which became Zwettl's first parish church in 1132.

The provost church, dedicated to John the Evangelist, features a granite ashlar construction with numerous architectural modifications from the 13th to 18th centuries.

The facility maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the church grounds, cemetery, and observe the monumental sandstone crucifixion group.

Since 1751, the title of Provost of Zwettl has been awarded only as an honorary distinction following Empress Maria Theresa's appropriation of the properties.
