The region which surrounds Mondsee encompasses a brilliant array of highlights – sporting, including two golf courses, as well as cultural. Guests are offered countless opportunities. Some of the must-sees and must-dos during your visit to the Mondsee region are described here.

Mondsee

Mondsee Town Center

This world-famous town is a mecca for romantics and culture lovers. Beautifully situated on the lake of the same name, in the heart of the Upper Austrian part of the Salzkammergut, surrounded by a spectacular mountain world with resonant names such as the Drachenwand and Schafberg. 6000 years of history have shaped this small market town, also a listed UNESCO World Heritage site – not least due to the discovery of ancient pile-dwelling finds. Stroll along the lakefront and through beautiful Almeida Park, and enjoy a cup of coffee amid the magical ambience of the charming market square – with view of the basilica and Schloss Mondsee.

St. Michael’s Basilica

Visible from afar and well-known far beyond the borders of Mondseeland – Saint Michael’s Basilica. This former abbey church of the Benedictines (built between 1463 and 1499) is today a cultural and historical hotspot. The basilica became famous worldwide as the shooting location for the wedding ceremony in the movie “The Sound of Music”. Here, the Gothic architecture with its Baroque, pink interior décor achieves magnificent effect. In 2005, the church was raised to the status of a Roman Catholic basilica by Pope John Paul II and placed under special protections as a historic monument. Today, countless visitors are able to participate in a wide variety of worship services.
