Salzburg and the Benedictine Nonnberg Convent

Benedictine Nonnberg Convent lies a little above the city at the foot of the Festungsberg, famous, in addition to its Gothic architectural elements, for its murals and smaller works of art. It is also here that the story told in the Hollywood production of “The Sound of Music” begins. Widely unkown is the fact that the nuns sing Gregorian Chorals every morning.
