Centuries-old Benedictine monastery, Stift Nonnberg is recognized as the oldest continuously existing convent in the German-speaking world, dating back to the early 8th century. Nestled beneath the Hohensalzburg Fortress, its secluded atmosphere and tranquil church interiors offer a peaceful retreat from the city’s bustling center. Visitors can admire the stunning Gothic frescoes, which have been carefully preserved, and discover its connection to “The Sound of Music,” as Maria Kutschera was once a postulant here. Although access is somewhat limited, strolling the courtyard and peeking into the chapel provide an authentic glimpse into Salzburg’s spiritual heritage.
