Wilhering Abbey is a
Cistercian monastery in
Wilhering in
Upper Austria, about 8 km (5 mi) from the city of
Linz. The buildings, re-constructed in the 18th century, are known for their spectacular
Rococo decoration. According to the German art historian
Cornelius Gurlitt, "the abbey church of Wilhering is the most brilliant achievement of the Rococo style in the German-speaking world". This photograph depicts the interior of the church, looking towards the
high altar, featuring the intricate ceiling
frescoes and
stucco work.
