Stift Dürnstein

wonderful little small village outskirt of Vienna,1.30 hr drive..wear sports shoes if you plan to hike up to the Ruin Castle,it is a steep hike,but i advice you to just do it as the view is breathtaking.

Beautiful place, full of history. Museum and the views from the church are great!

It worth to pay the entry ticket ! Don’t miss the opportunity to explore this incredible place. You will learn a lot about the history and feel the Divine connection on the church.

A step back in time. Bike riding throught the vineyards is something special, a must do, as is a walk around the town afterwards. A must stop location.

Lovely walk up and surrounding village. Great view

Beautiful! A must visit on the side of the Danube River. Lots of apricot buys in the local shops!

The blue church in Dürnstein is absolutely stunning. Its bright color makes it stand out in the town. The baroque architecture is elegant and detailed. Inside, the decorations are beautiful and well-preserved. The church has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. It is a great spot for photography. The location near the river makes it even more picturesque. Visiting this church gives you a sense of the town’s history. The staff there are friendly and informative. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in Dürnstein.

Beautiful views from the top of the hill. Clean little town, full of history.

Nestled in the town of Durnstein in the Wachau Region, a valley formed by the Danube river, this chapel rises over the river and blends with the landscape in an amazing way, when you approach the town by boat you see the blue church tower and the hills rising beyond, it is simply amazing. The building of this monastery and chapel dates back to the late 1300s. Make sure to climb the tower for an amazing view of the Danube river and the wachau valley.

Gorgeous church in the town of Dürnstein. It was first built on a rock cliff high above the Danube in 1410 and then modified and baroquized in the first half of the 18th century. It was at this time that the wonderfully decorated interior of the abbey church with its warm colors came into being along with the regional landmark, the blue and white tower. It seems like an architectural signal in the landscape with its striking colors and the fine materials that make its surface look like ceramic. It costs €3.50 to go in and have a look around. The abbey itself is quite stunning and you can go into the balcony and look down on this amazing church. You can also walk around the terrace with wide expansive views of the Danube. Worth a visit when in town. It's located down a set of stairs from the main pedestrian area.

A wonderful church and spire with great views. We went a tour which was very educational and interesting from a historical religious point of view. The inside of the church was very elaborate and rivaled churches in Vienna. The architecture was not very ornamented but nice.

Stunning abbey rising over the Danube river with its blue and white tower serving as a regional landmark. It was built in the 1400s and rebuilt in the 1700s in Baroque style. We didn't take the tour due to time restraints, but fully enjoyed the ornate interior and terrace overlooking the river.
