Dürnstein Abbey Church is the most striking landmark of the Wachau town of Dürnstein, its blue and white Baroque tower visible from afar. The church belongs to the former Augustinian Canons Regular monastery, founded in the 15th century. The current Baroque structure was largely built in the 18th century and designed by Italian architects.

Architecturally, the church is distinguished by its elegant Baroque style, rich stucco and fresco decoration, and magnificent altar furnishings. The frescoes in the dome and the Rococo ornaments in the interior are particularly popular with visitors. The abbey church is not only a place of worship but also a significant cultural monument, attracting numerous tourists each year who visit historic Dürnstein and the Wachau region.

The church is centrally located in Dürnstein and easily accessible by bicycle, making it an ideal stop on a tour through the Wachau. It impressively combines architecture, history, and the scenic beauty of the Danube Valley.
