The Schottenstift, formally called Benediktinerabtei unserer Lieben Frau zu den Schotten, is a Catholic monastery founded in Vienna in 1155 when Henry II of Austria brought Irish monks to Vienna. The monks did not come directly from Ireland, but came instead from the Scots Monastery in Regensburg, Germany. Since 1625, the abbey has been a member of the Austrian Congregation, which since 1893 has been part of the Benedictine Confederation.
