Through Maria Augusta Kutschera, later Maria Augusta von Trapp, who was a postulant in the abbey after World War I and whose life was the basis for the film The Sound of Music, the abbey has acquired international fame.
It was established in 1687, when it was first settled by the nuns of Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg.
