Cultural city

Immerse in the art and culture of our city

From Art Brut exhibitions at Galerie Gugging, the magnificent Augustinian Monastery, the Franz Kafka Memorial Room, Austria's second oldest St. Martin's Church, the Universalmuseum Kierling with the world's largest paper-cutting collection, to unique artworks at Museum Gugging – follow the footsteps of great artists and experience the cultural treasures of Klosterneuburg.

As the former residence of the Babenbergs and Habsburgs and as Austria's oldest winery, Klosterneuburg Abbey is a particularly important repository of precious masterpieces and producer of fine wines. A variety of tours are available presenting magnificent rooms such as the treasury, the world-famous Altar of Verdun, the old wine cellar, and much more. Along the history foot-path of town and in the Klosterneuburg City Museum plenty of cultural treasures of the lower and upper part of town can be discovered.

In addition to the ancient and in many ways mysterious books of the abbey library the City archives offer the opportunity to research forgotten family histories. Culture enthusiasts can gaze in wonder at unique opera performances in the baroque open-air ambience of the "Kaiserhof" - the emperors yard - on warm summer nights while enjoying a glass of wine.

Klosterneuburg to Listen To

The local tourism and city marketing board created a history-path using the audio guides from the history trail. Klosterneuburg's city history is humorously narrated in German by comedian Werner Brix and in English by Stuart Freeman, a famous voice from radio and television.

On two different routes – the upper part of town and the lower part of town - with a total of 37 stops, you can learn all sorts of interesting facts about house signs, old crafts, the origin of street names, special historical events right at the location where they happened, and much more, experiencing Klosterneuburg in a completely new and lively way.

The audio guides can be listened to on any standard mobile phone, tablet, or computer using the free app „Hearonymus.“ Everyone, whether on-site or at home, can now hear the city's story.

The english history-path is also a good tip for pupils and english students who want to improve or refresh their skills spiced up and bulked with local color and history or simply preserve them from fading!
