THE LILIENFELD CISTERCIAN ABBEY

Stift Lilienfeld Vor dem Tor


The Lilienfeld Cistercian Abbey is located in Lower Austria, around 25 kilometres south of Sankt Pölten. It is a main stop on the Via Sacra, the traditional pilgrimage route from Vienna to Mariazell.

With its huge complex of buildings, including the largest Abbey Church in Austria, Lilienfeld Abbey is a place of wonder. Cistercian monks have been praying and working here for over 800 years. They devote themselves to celebrating the liturgy, welcoming guests, pastoral care, fostering culture and administrative tasks.
