The hotel in an abbey

The Schlosshotel Mondsee is the culmination of contemporary history where centuries of stories can be told. It progressed from being a Benedictine monastery to being owned by a few private owners and finally to welcoming you as our guest. On entering you can feel this incredible aura from the very first moment.

This is Austria's oldest Benedictine abbey, which was founded in 748 ac. It was drestroyed and rebuilt several times. In the 16th century the collegiate church was added to the complex of buildings. The abbey in Mondsee was handed over to Napoleon in the 18th century before finally ending up in the hands of the aristocratic family Almeida. Countess Almeida sold the castle in 1985 to the Asamer family who opened it as a hotel in 2001.

A stay at our hotel enables you to become witness of the passing of time. The paintings and furnishings take you on a journey back into different periods of history. The old walls have also been preserved and the old bread oven of the Benedictine monks can still be admired today.
