Nonnberg Abbey sits on the scenic slopes beneath Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Fortress. Founded around 714 AD by Saint Rupert, it is the oldest continuously operating women's convent in the German-speaking world. The late Gothic abbey church of St Maria houses rare 12th-century Romanesque frescoes in the choir, an intricate winged altar, and the crypt of Saint Erentrudis. Pop culture fans will also recognise it from 'The Sound of Music'.
