Herzogenburg Abbey LibraryPhoto: Fotoclub Eichgraben
The exhibition "Witness to Eternity" at Herzogenburg Abbey is open from March 28 to October 26.
There are guided tours of the monastery every day except Wednesday at 11.00 am, 2.00 pm and 3.30 pm.
Over 900 years of monastery history are reflected in the historic Herzogenburg Abbey. It was rebuilt in Baroque style from 1714 by the famous master builders Jakob Prandtauer and Joseph Munggenast. The magnificent monastery complex, which has now been extensively revitalized, is the focal point of life for the Augustinian canons. The Lower Austrian Children's Summer Games (NÖKISS) are also traditionally held here every year. The large art collection also houses valuable exhibits from the Gothic period to the present day. The ceremonial hall, treasury, library and coin cabinet as well as the baroque picture hall underline the great art-historical significance of the abbey.
Witness to eternity
Herzogenburg Abbey is a complete work of art. As part of the guided tour "Witness to Eternity", which lasts approx. 75 minutes, you will gain an insight into the history and life of the community of Augustinian canons. On display are: Prelate's Staircase, banqueting hall, collections, choir chapel, treasury and library.
Herzogenburg Abbey: Spiritual center on the Way of St. James
The heart of Herzogenburg Abbey is the collegiate church, founded around 1014. It is considered the most important building of the Austrian late Baroque period - and is home to a magnificent organ by Johann Hencke. Next to it is the Easter Chapel for private prayer.
The monastery is surrounded by numerous gardens, such as the prelate's garden with its fountain and the blooming rose garden. The lovingly furnished monastery store not only offers a selection of devotional items and books, but also wines and fruit juices, coffee and snacks.
Incidentally, the monastery is particularly popular with visitors on foot - after all, it is located directly on the Way of St. James (Purkersdorf-Göttweig section). That is why it has become a popular pilgrimage site.
