This full-day private tour to Klosterneuburg, located on the right bank of the Danube, immediately north of Vienna, gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the celebrations in honour of Austria’s patron saint, St Leopold who founded Klosterneuburg Abbey in 1108 on the site where his wife’s wind-blown veil was found. St Leopold’s Day is celebrated on 15 November, the anniversary of the death of Leopold III in 1136. St Leopold’s Day has been celebrated since Leopold’s canonisation in 1485. Since 1663, St Leopold has been the national patron saint of Austria and, in particular, the patron saint of Vienna, Lower Austria and Upper Austria. The highlight of this tour is the pontifical mass in the Klosterneuburg abbey church with the Austrian composer’s Anton Bruckner’s Mass in D minor with the monastery choir and the monastery music orchestra. After the mass there is a meal in the abbey restaurant before you slide down the famous thousand bucket barrel and taste some wine.
