The side entrance to the church of my hometown, Klosterneuburg in Austria. The church is part of the famous monastery see short description below. I never realized the ceiling was so beautiful This was a test shot with my new Sigma 10 20, sorry about the weird angle. Klosterneuburg Priory German Stift Klosterneuburg is a Roman Catholic monastery of Augustinian Canons in the Lower Austrian town of Klosterneuburg on the Danube river, just north of the Vienna city limits at the Leopoldsberg. It was founded in 1114 by the Austrian margrave Saint Leopold III, a Babenberger and the patron saint of Austria, and his second wife Agnes, a daughter of the Imperial Salian dynasty. According to legend, a gust out of the clear sky carried away Agnes veil her husband retrieved it years later and decided to build the monastery at the location.
