Already extremely friendly and accommodating when making the reservation. This time we opted for full board. I can only recommend this because the food was very good, the portions are generous and comparatively affordable. The waiters are very helpful and courteous. The Stiftskeller with its giant barrels is a great idea that also allows for a certain amount of privacy. There is a very pleasant atmosphere in the monastery and the rooms are very quiet. We enjoyed the service on Easter Sunday because the abbot gave a personal speech. The organ is impressive. For us, the beer is the best that Austria has to offer; the many different types invite you to try them. Candle making is always a highlight. We would think it would be great if there were also tours of the monastery on Sunday. We always enjoy coming back :-)

Schlägl Abbey and the neighboring parish church of Aigen are definitely worth a visit!

Because of the heat, we visited Schlägl Abbey on July 11, 2023 and took the tour with Mr. Hans Veit: very interesting and entertaining tour with very good singing in the crypt and in the church - thank you!

I visited Schlägl Abbey for the first time on a beautiful and sunny day. After I had visited a few pens, I was curious about what awaited me there. And I was a bit sobering. I decided on a tour that was very informative and lovingly designed. I enjoyed that. I didn't like the very sober and rather unwelcoming monastery complex. Even during the tour there was very little to see and discover. Overall it is a relatively small monastery, with a very small cloister and an equally small garden. The pen store also offers very little selection. Apart from beer and books and some ceramics there is nothing else to discover there. Since I don't drink beer, I can't say anything about the beer brewed there or about the brewery there, which wasn't included in the tour. This means that the visit there definitely disappointed me, as I am particularly interested in the historical aspects. But it is a "living" monastery with a relatively large number of committed brothers who obviously run the monastery very well. But anyone planning a visit there after visiting other pens will certainly be disappointed.
