The cellar spaces were restored and revitalized for the Lower Austrian Provincial Exhibition in 2000 and have been used for cultural events and exhibitions ever since.
There are two segments:
Small Baroque Cellar
The Small Baroque Cellar, situated under the rooms of the abbot and the prior, was built by Jakob Prandtauer in 1713/1714.
Great Baroque Cellar
“With the greatest of efforts this cellar was quarried out of the rock under Abbot Valentin Embalner, finished in 1652, and filled with wine.”
