The origins of Klosterneuburg Abbey go back to Margrave Leopold III., who moved his residence to the site of today's Klosterneuburg in 1113; Leopold founded the Abbey one year later to fulfil a vow he had made.
In 1133, the Babenburg prince summoned the Augustinian canons to Klosterneuburg, who turned the Abbey into a centre of religious life, culture and science over the centuries that followed. To this day, the Augustinians live and work here in his spirit and according to the rules of the order as laid down by St. Augustine.
Klosterneuburg Abbey holds a number of important artworks in its collections, ranging from the world-famous Verdun Altar of the Middle Ages, to magnificent Baroque works, to modern paintings.
