Visit Klosterneuburg and experience unique events
Leopold Fest Klosterneuburg
The traditional Leopoldi Festival takes place annually around November 15th – the anniversary of Leopold III's death – in Klosterneuburg. In honor of the saint, the entire town, located just outside Vienna, celebrates.
Saint Leopold is not only the founder of the Klosterneuburg Abbey, but since 1663 also Patron saint of Lower Austria and Vienna. Emperor Leopold I., who elevated him to patron saint of the land, coupled this with the wish that the saint's feast day should be celebrated with due dignity and appropriate splendor. Thus, the monastery and the town of Klosterneuburg jointly invite you to the Leopold celebrations.
Besides the Leopoldi Market with its approximately 30 Places of entertainment and approx. 80 market stalls On Rathausplatz, the highlights of the folk festival include counting visitors to High Mass in the collegiate church, wine tastings in the Babenbergerhalle, and of course, barrel sliding in the Binderstadl of the abbey. During the traditional pilgrimage, the skull relic of Saint Leopold is the center of attention.
With this diversity, the Leopold Festival is one of the largest festivals of its kind in Lower Austria
