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.
