Schlierbach Abbey Glass Painting Studio
Highlight • Monument
The workshop of the O.Ö. Glasmalerei was founded in Linz in 1884.
Josef Raukamp, a trained glass painter from the Rhineland, took over the business in 1915. From 1919 he worked together with his brother Wilhelm, owner of the glass painting in Berlin, who also came to Linz after the death of his wife.
The brothers' collaboration was interrupted when Wilhelm entered the Cistercian monastery of Schlierbach in 1926. During the Second World War, Josef Raukamp was therefore able to keep his valuable glass supplies safe from the bombing raids in Linz within the monastery walls.
In 1954 the monastery bought the glass painting, which gained a reputation as a center for sacred art. You can find stained glass windows in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth or in the Memorial Church in Hiroshima.
Today, the Schlierbacher Glaswerkstätte is a modern monastery business with traditional roots, which is characterized by innovation and long-term thinking.

Schlierbach Abbey
Highlight • Religious Site
Currently 9/2021 the collegiate church is unfortunately closed for about a year due to renovation work. The monastery café with panorama terrace (great panoramic view of the Kremstal) and the monastery shop are still open. Guided tours of the monastery and the show dairy also take place. It makes sense to compare the dates with the arrival times.

Panorama Café and Monastery Shop at Stift Schlierbach
Highlight • Cafe
The Panorama Café is located in the Meierhof, above the education center and the glass workshops.
Concentration instead of excess, clarity instead of excess - that's the secret of true enjoyment. You can already see this philosophy in the architecture of the panorama café. A transparent building with a sun terrace, where you can feel what is important: a wide view, the beautiful landscape, nature and the products that are produced here.
Here you can buy the excellent Schlierbach organic cheese, glass products from the glass workshop, selected culinary delicacies and other products from the monastery shop. Or you can simply enjoy a good coffee and a regionally produced pastry with the wonderful panoramic view of the upper Kremstal.

Klosterkäserei Schlierbach
Highlight • Structure
It all began in 1924, when what is now the largest monastery cheese dairy in Europe was founded by Brother Leonhard on St. James' Day, July 25th. Specializing in the production of soft and semi-hard cheese, Klosterkäserei Schlierbach is now the market leader in the segment of soft cheese with red culture.
Hearty organic cheese specialties have been produced since 1999.
In 2008, the cheese masters started making cheese specialties from sheep's and goat's milk. The organic range of the Schlierbach monastery cheese dairy has been expanded, creating a new focus for the range.
With the conversion to a purely organic operation in 2012, customers are guaranteed access to regional food of the highest quality in the future.
Before accessing Schlierbach Abbey, follow a few steps of the Käsemaus - look for the next but one sign in the series "On the trail of cheese", right next to the tanks.
If a truck comes towards you here, that is quite normal, because this is where the milk is delivered!

Stiftskirche Schlierbach
Highlight • Religious Site
The collegiate church, built from 1680 to 1682, adorned with frescoes and lavish stucco decoration, is a special masterpiece by the Italian artist family Carlone, but also by many other - equally local - artists who created a baroque total work of art here in the 17th century.
The church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary - especially the Assumption of Mary - and St. dedicated to James. Architecture, stucco and painting resonate in a unique way. The warm and rather dark colors of brown, black and gold predominate on the walls and the altar furnishings - in contrast, the vault above shines in bright white, interspersed with the strong colors of the frescoes. The church is the center of the Cistercian monastery.
We also highly recommend a visit to:
Library - cruciform state room with hanging domes built in baroque style
Bernardi Hall - state hall with rich stucco decorations on the ceiling and walls, frescoes and pictures

Kalvarienberg Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
The Calvary Chapel was built in 1833-1834, and in 1835 the monastery administrator Alan Burkhard was able to consecrate it. The door frame bears the initials of Stephan Kroiss and Theresia Kroiss (18 ST K-T K 34), who initiated the construction. In 1867 a Way of the Cross with wooden crosses and tin paintings was added. The chapel was covered with new Eternit panels in 1907. In 1934 the wooden crosses were replaced by granite crosses. In 1981 and 1990 the chapel and Way of the Cross were restored. A pilgrimage to Altpernstein, which has been held annually since 1868 on the occasion of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, traditionally begins at the Calvary Chapel.

Small chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
The small chapel found here is dedicated to the Mother of God, Mary. In the niche of the apse, there is a statue of her holding her dead son, Jesus Christ, on her lap. Such a depiction is called a PIETA. In the prayer of the Stations of the Cross, this is the station after Jesus' death on the cross and before his entombment.

View from Grillenparz
Highlight • Viewpoint
Beautiful mountain view on the Upper Austrian central area with Mühlviertel. Of the Alps you can unfortunately see only the Kremsmauer or the summit area of the Kasberg.
