The baroque collegiate church is considered to be the most significant building of Austrian late Baroque. Guided tours through the exhibition "Witnesses of Eternity" are offered five times a day.

The Herzogenburg Abbey is a Roman Catholic monastery of the Augustinian canons.
The monastery was founded in 1112 by Ulrich I von Passau in St. Georgen an der Traisen at the confluence of the Traisen and the Danube and was moved 10 km up the Traisen to Herzogenburg in 1244 because of the frequent flooding. This also gave rise to the "Upper Market", which was managed by the Canons' Convent, while the "Lower Market", a Bavarian foundation, remained in the hands of the Formbach Monastery until it was bought by the Canons' Convent in 1806.

Imposing building that largely dominates the lower Traisental. Some MTB routes, the Traisental cycle path and the Weinberg cycle path pass here.
