- Basilika St. Michael - The town of Mondsee, with its famous St. Michael’s Wedding Basilica, lies in the beautiful countryside between the lakes Mondsee and Irrsee. This basilica is famous for the wedding of Maria and Captain von Trapp in the world-famous musical To the Sound of Music. Since then, more than 400 weddings have taken place here. The 12th century basilica is the symbol of Mondsee and one of the largest Gothic churches in Austria. The church received its extraordinarily rich decoration at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. However, the history of this place goes back much further. Originally, the Mondsee monastery stood here, founded in 748. After 800, the so-called “Mondsee Matthew”, the oldest translation of the Bible into German, was written in the monastery. After the dissolution of the monastery in 1791, the building was converted into a castle and is now a hotel. The lake is considered one of the warmest in Salzkammergut area.
