Lonely Planet review

The Stift Klosterneuburg Museum contains an eclectic mix of religious art from the Middle Ages to the present. It closes in winter to individual visitors, but tours of are conducted almost hourly all year (tours in English require advanced notice). The highlight of the 'Der Sacrale Weg' tour is the Verdun Altar in St Leopold's Chapel, an annexe of the church.

Made in 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun, it is an unsurpassed example of medieval enamel work and is gloriously adorned with 51 enamelled panels showing biblical scenes.
