Here you can find peace & quiet!

Göttweig hovers majestically above the blue Wachau on a hill between heaven and earth.

Benedictine monks have been praying, working and reading here for over 900 years, in a place that is a source of strength for its visitors and residents.

A must-see: The monumental imperial staircase, crowned by Paul Troger's ceiling fresco, as well as the royal and imperial rooms. Göttweig Abbey is not only a place of art and culture - the retreat house and the youth house are recognized meeting places. As one of the oldest wineries in Austria, Göttweig Abbey can justifiably be described as steeped in tradition.
