This monastery can be only visited with a guided tour. There are a few different time slots per day and a tour takes about 1h15m. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour a lot. The monastery offers beautiful galleries, hallways, artworks and a stunning library - and as the area is mostly private, we've really felt like we're properly exploring the place instead of being mass-tourists pushed through some crowded corridors. This is a big contrast to the experience in Melk, for example, so depending on your personal preference, this may be a very good alternative. As an added highlight, we took part in a roughly 20 minute long prayer/meditation with the monks, which we really appreciated as a relaxing and interesting experience. Overall, this monastery was the one we preferred compared to Melk and Göttweig - it may be the more modest (if you can say so, as it is still stunning) of the three but we found it most charming and authentic and are still delighted that we put it on our itinerary. Thank you for the tour and for the experiences!

The guided tour was very interesting and informative. Without the tour you can see the monastery only from the outside. We've arrived by train, the walk from the station was about 25 minutes. For tourists arriving by car, there is a big parking lot available.

A wonderful baroque styled monarchy serving a variety of great white wines to tourists. Its church is still active and well maintained.

Ein wunderschönes Stift zwischen Sankt Pölten und Krems. Die Besichtigung von außen ist kostenlos. Die Kirche ist innen sehr schön und prunkvoll.
