Zwettl Abbey It has existed without interruption since it was founded in 1138, making it the third-oldest Cistercian monastery in the world after the Rein and Heiligenkreuz Abbeys. The monastery building is typical of a cistern on the valley floor and was built in a bend in the Kamp river.

The Cistercian Abbey of Zwettl is a spiritual place with over 875 years of history. A hike along the Kamptal Lakes Trail to Zwettl Abbey is particularly worthwhile. In September, the master florist exhibition takes place. Floral artworks set against a baroque backdrop make for an unforgettable experience.
