Sometimes it's not the splendor that makes a place holy, but the shadow in which it lies. This is also the case here, on the edge of the Kapuzinerberg, where the oldest convent north of the Alps retreats from the hustle and bustle of time like an old cat from the noise of the market. The Nonnberg Abbey Church doesn't seem like a place that wants to explain itself. More like one that trusts that you'll return someday – perhaps more quietly, perhaps more awake. The path leads through a winding ensemble of walls, arches, and stone inscriptions. "Pax" is written simply above a window. Peace. No demand, no slogan – just a memory. The gravestones lean against the wall like silent witnesses, entwined with flowers that apparently can't decide between wildness and ornamentation. In between are iron crosses, as artful as a medieval tattoo, and a garden that knows more about life than many libraries. Inside, Gothic austerity reigns – high vaults, a thin light streaming through colored windows like old hymns. A lone person stands in the center of the nave, and it's hard to tell whether he's praying, reflecting, or just remembering. Probably all of the above. And somewhere inside these walls, Benedictine nuns still live. You don't hear them, you don't see them – but something tells you they're there. Perhaps it's the faint clinking of dishes, perhaps a hint of incense in the breeze.

point on the route

Archbishop Gebhard built the fortress in 1077. In the following years, his successors were responsible for further developing the fortress architecture. Around 1500, the fortress acquired its present appearance under Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach. The fortress's original purpose was to protect the principality and its archbishops from enemy attacks. In all these years, it has never been captured by foreign troops.

Very nice

The centre of the square is the Mozart monument

Beautiful entrance portal

On the way down, you will see a monument to the most famous Salzburger, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The inscription on the plaque reads: “Mozart / Young, great / Recognized late / Never achieved”. The monument stands on the site of the former “Magic Flute House”, where he composed the opera.
