Monasteries of Salzburg

Today, many architectural monuments are important cultural assets and part of the growing cultural heritage. As testimonies of ‘living history’, the historically and artistically significant buildings contribute significantly to the identity of the State of Salzburg. In the history of the country, the monasteries played an important role not only for Christianization but above all for the unique cultural development of Salzburg. The directory contains existing and abandoned convents, abbeys and pens.
