Klosterneuburg

The monastery was founded in 1114 by Saint Leopold III, the patron saint of Vienna. Over the centuries the monastery was remodeled a number of times; the current appearance dates mostly to the Baroque period. The monastery houses a museum with a collection of Gothic and Baroque art, but its most prized artpiece is the triptych Verduner Altar, painted in 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun. Access to much of the huge complex is by tours only - these depart frequently from the monastery's foyer.

Franz Kafka died of tuberculosis in 1924 in this building, which at the time was a sanatorium. A reading room was established here, displaying some of the writer's personal effects, as well as photographs, letters, and cards; during his stay here he was visited by many friends, including fellow writers Franz Werfel and Max Brod. There is also an on-site library of his works, including translations into many other languages. Open visiting hours can vary, so it is best to check beforehand here.
