Klosterneuburg.
Wine TastingHiking
Klosterneuburg is a magnificent town just north of Vienna, dominated by its famous Augustinian monastery founded in 1114. The Stift Klosterneuburg is not only an architectural masterpiece but also home to Austria's oldest continuously operating winery, producing wines for over 900 years. The monastery's baroque architecture, imperial apartments, and wine cellars attract visitors from around the world. Beyond the monastery, the town features a charming historic center, riverside promenade along the Danube, and vibrant cultural life. The combination of imperial history, religious heritage, world-class wine production, and proximity to Vienna creates a unique destination that bridges sacred and secular, ancient and modern.
