Wilhering Abbey: Discover 875 years of history! – Upper Austria, Austria

EXPERIENCE:

Our museum:
The museum consists of 7 exhibition rooms and therefore 7 themes: and although each of the themes stands on its own, they all ultimately flow into each other. The focus is on Wilhering Abbey and its history, the spirituality of the Cistercians, their motto “ora et labora” and the great personalities of the abbey.
Special emphasis has been placed on providing visitors with two levels of information:
– Overview information on the theme of each room, and
the opportunity to delve deeper into individual topics according to their interests.
– In addition, various interactions provide an entertaining tour for younger visitors.
(Quote: Lydia Altmann, curator of the exhibition)

The collegiate church and cloister, the courtyard and the park are freely accessible.
The gate with café, shop and the Benedict Hall are located in the former farm of the abbey, as is the abbey museum. The Abbey Gate is a place of arrival, hospitality and encounter. The abbey café offers self-service cakes, coffee, drinks and abbey snacks (we prefer regional suppliers). The Monastery Store sells products such as wine from our leased vineyards near Krems.
