Over 900 years of monastery history are reflected in the historic Herzogenburg Abbey. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style from 1714 by the famous master builders Jakob Prandtauer and Joseph Munggenast. The magnificent monastery complex, which has been extensively revitalized today, is the center of life for the Augustinian canons.

In addition, the large art collection houses valuable exhibits from the Gothic period to the present day. The ballroom, treasury, library and coin cabinet as well as the baroque picture hall underline the great art-historical importance of the monastery.

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.
