The Schottenstift (full name: Benediktinerabtei unserer Lieben Frau zu den Schotten lit, Benedictine Abbey of Our Dear Lady to the Scots) is a Roman Catholic monastery founded in Vienna in 1155 when Henry II brought Irish-Scottish monks to Vienna. The monks did not come directly from Ireland, but came instead from St Jakob's, the Irish monastery in Regensburg, Germany. Since 1625 the abbey has been a member of the Austrian Congregation, now within the Benedictine Confederation.

This is fabulous Chris. The angle you took to get in all that beauty is amazing and the colors are so rich and bright. How interesting the history is as well. You've surely outdone yourself with this one my friend. Amazing work.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
WOW Chris this is so beautiful what a lots of beautiful colours of paintings, it must have bin a very wealthy church and I think it still is, because here in Holland the Catholic church is very wealthy too, but nevertheless it is looking wonderful and you did a fine job here:))
