Best Monastery in austria

A	Alison Dingley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very gracious and hospitable without being touristy. Beautiful, amazing buildings and history.
S	Suvendu Das on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Augustinian Monastery of St. Florian is a place of encounter and devotion, the cultural center of the region and a treasure of the Austrian Baroque. Particularly noteworthy are the library with more than 150,000 volumes, the Imperial Marble Hall, the Sebastian altar by Albrecht Altdorfer, the tomb with the sarcophagus Anton Bruckner and the "Bruckner organ" in the monastery basilica. St. Florian is known as a place of pilgrimage far beyond the borders of Austria. Saint Florian is said to have been buried there and the famous composer Anton Bruckner has found his final resting place here.

W	Wolfgang Laun on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This Augustinian monastery is a masterpiece. designed by Carlo Antonio Carlone. Baroque style is demonstrated on facades, gates, stairways and many interiors, most notably the one of the monastery church. After passing a beautiful wrought iron gate, the interior architecture of the church can be appreciated. While its walls and galleries are richly decorated with stucco, all ceilings are frescoed. The nave exhibits a sequence of frescoes with trompe-l'oeil architecture framing scenes of the martyrdom of St. Florian. The unusual approach creates a startling atmosphere (especially when a reddish light from a setting Sun floods the upper part of the nave). The high altar frames a painting with red marble. There was no time for visiting other parts. Next time a tour of the interior of the monastery with the library, the gallery and the rooms is indisputable.
