Klosterneuburg is a town in the Tulln District of the Austrian state of Lower Austria. Frequently abbreviated to Kloburg by locals, it has a population of about 27,500. The Stift Klosterneuburg (Klosterneuburg Monastery), which was established in 1114 and soon after given to the Augustinians, is of particular historical importance.



A winemaker's town during the 19th century, Klosterneuburg developed to a recreational and residential area of Austrian officials working in the nearby capital.
