Detail InformationEdit

The Benedictine Abbey of Kremsmünster belongs to Austria´s oldest order and was founded AD 777 by Tassilo II Duke of Bavaria, who richly endowed it.
Legend has it that Tassilo had the Abbey erected on the very site where one his sons, Gunther, died in a hunting accident. The imposing pile of Baroque buildings, as they now stand, are mostly of the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The Abbey´s art collection encompasses several art galleries and the treasury, which shelters the beautifully engraved golden Tassilo Chalice. Exhibits on display include an elaborate Tassilo Candelabra, the World-famous “Codex Millenarius” manuscript, important European paintings from the 15th to the 19th century, an armory, an arts & wonder chamber and a library. There is an interesting collection of objects of natural history in the lower part of the observatory, eight stories high and considered Europe´s first Baroque tower block (built between 1748 and 1758). The rich exhibits were collected within a period of over 250 years and are presented in six galleries: Geology and Palaeontology, Mineralogy, Physics, Zoology and Botany, Ethnology, Astronomy.
