Göttweig Abbey is often called the "Austrian Montecassino" - and as soon as you stand in front of it, you understand why. It sits majestically on a 422-meter-high hill on the eastern edge of the Wachau, directly opposite Krems and Mautern. The abbey, as we see it today, is the result of a gigantic reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1718. The famous architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (who also designed the Belvedere Palace in Vienna) planned a huge, palace-like complex. Due to a lack of funds, however, only about two-thirds of the original plan was completed - which does not make the complex any less impressive.
