Altenburg
Welcome to Altenburg!
The municipality Altenburg has been created by the merger of the two communities Altenburg and Fuglau, and now comprises even 5 villages: Altenburg, Burgerwiesen, Fuglau, Mahrersdorf and Steinegg.
The Benedictine monastery Altenburg has been built in 1144 and is regarded as the Baroque jewel of the Waldviertel. Since the year 1994, it has one more attraction to offer to its visitors:
2 monasteries at one spot - the Baroque monastery and underneath, the Old Monastery.
The monastery, as we know it today, has its origines in the 17th and 18th century and is a jewel of Baroque architecture. From the beginning of the 60ties, it accommodates the Boys Choirs, representating our home not only in Austria but also abroad with their musical performances.
Embark on a DISCOVER JOURNEY OF THE MONASTERY, into the more than 850 year old history of the monastery Altenburg and travel into the past.

Since the year 1144, the Benedictine monastery Altenburg gives the Waldviertel strength and the belief in life.
Angels wanted: Altenburg needs every little donation. Only with joined forces we can save the cultural jewel and its angels.The church, the federal state and the Länder contribute to that.
Join us with your donation, and become an angel - the angels will thank you.
For angels, the contributions can´t be big enough: Donations from companies can be set off from tax liability. If you want to support the renovation work with a major donation, please call the abbot of the monastery, Bernhard Naber OSB, personally (Telephone number: 0 29 82/34 51-20). He will also inform you about our "angels-goodparenthoods" from 10.000, - €.
For angels, every effort will be rewarded. Whether you contribute financially, with a material donation or with your personal effort: We already want to thank you - in the name of the Benedictines and in the name of the angels of Altenburg. Contact - skip
