saint florian, austria

St. Florian is a town in Upper Austria with one of the oldest Augustinian monasteries, named after Saint Florian. It is 10 miles (16 km) from Linz, with a population of 5,500 and an elevation of 296 meters above sea level. The monastery of St. Florian (Stift St.Florian) possesses two organs, the larger one of which is known as the Bruckner Orgel, counting over 7000 organ pipes. It was played by composer and organist Anton Bruckner, who is buried beneath the organ inside the church. St. Florian has a fire fighting museum (Historisches Feuerwehrzeughaus), a hunting museum (Jagdmuseum Schloss Hohenbrunn) and a museum of farming and local history (Sumerauerhof). St. Florian is also known for its boys' choir (St. Florianer Sngerknaben). This choir has been a traditional part of the monestery since its existence and has contributed to the identity of the town.
