There is a museum in this place, yes, but it's main purpose is ... ... different. :wink:

The town, where this building is situated, is the site of one of the few academic institutions in the world specializing in wine making, the "Austrian Federal College of Viticulture and Pomology" ... and a quite famous wine-cellar belongs to this building as well.

Well it's Klosterneuberg; the Kloster in Kwestion. VERY impressive and in googling I renewed my acquaintance with Melk which I loved...
But Caprice had it first I think.

Congratulation! (Klosterneuburg - a place really as nice as Melk!)

Here's their website.

About thirty years ago, when my cousin lived in there as a student, I could see all privately - even wear the crown of the Austrian Archdukes :wink:

It's your turn, Clary.

Dayum! And I looked up "abbeys" under Google too, but abandoned that search early on.

However, those poles ...
