Abbey school, students’ boarding house, Education Centre
It’s impossible to imagine Neustift Abbey without a school. This is also because schools formed a part of the monastery from the High Middle Ages on: from the choristers’ institute and the internal theological institute to the preparatory commercial school (Bürgerschule) and the juvenate, which until the end of the 1960s were run by the canons.
Today the abbey has a boarding house for students and an external branch of the Brixen middle school named after Oswald von Wolkenstein. Adult education is another important element of the work at the abbey – which has its own education and conference centre. And since knowledge not only has to be communicated but also continuously expanded, the Neustift canons have always excelled in various research and academic fields.
