Stiftskirche Klosterneuburg, Romanesque parish church in Klosterneuburg, Austria
Stiftskirche Klosterneuburg is a parish church with heavy stone walls, rounded arches, and a prominent bell tower that shapes the town's appearance. The building displays Romanesque style with the characteristic features of this architectural period.
The church was built by Margrave Leopold III of Babenberg and his wife Agnes, then consecrated in 1136. Its foundation was tied to the religious and political influence this family held in the region.
The Verduner Altar displays 51 gilded copper plates with biblical scenes crafted through medieval techniques that visitors can observe directly. These carefully decorated panels tell religious stories in a way that connects the medieval past to those standing before it.
Access is from Franz Rumpler-Str. 14 in central Klosterneuburg. Visitors should note that the church has varying access throughout the day and that services take priority during scheduled times.
Beneath the church lies Austria's oldest still-operating winery, producing wine for centuries. This blend of spiritual place and wine production is unusual and shows how the complex served multiple purposes over time.
