Review & FAQ:
Located 5 miles from Linz, Wilhering Abbey is an 850-year-old Cistercian monastery dating back to 1146. The abbey served as a hub for education, spiritual, and cultural life that influenced the entire region. Artists and craftsmen frequently met at Wilhering to meet and collaborate. A fire in 1733 significantly damaged the abbey. It was rebuilt in the Rococo style as seen in its white and pastel colors, spectacular sculpted moldings, and stucco work. Visitors can admire the building’s impressive interior filled with paintings, sculptures, and frescoes of many saints with a backdrop of clouds and blue sky.
