Schlierbach

Schlierbach combines the quiet rhythm of a rural Upper Austrian community with the presence of a long-established monastic centre in a way that reflects its position in the Krems valley below the Alpine foothills. The village is best known for Schlierbach Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1355; its church and monastic buildings bear the imprint of later Baroque rebuilding. Abbey life also includes a cheese dairy, making Schlierbacher cheese a local culinary reference. Meadows and wooded slopes surround the settlement, while the nearby limestone ranges of the Austrian Alps place it within the wider Kalkalpen region.
