(1073-1136) decided to found a Cistercian monastery in the southern Vienna Woods, which was called "Sancta Crux" (= Heiligenkreuz) from the very beginning, and not only since the receipt of the large relic of the cross in 1187. The monastery has existed since then without any interruption until today. With about 100 monks, Stift Heiligenkreuz is the largest Cistercian monastery in Europe and the biggest cultural and spiritual attraction of the beautiful Vienna Woods area only 15 kilometers (about 9.5 American miles) west of Vienna. In 1804, the imperial and royal (k.u.k.) organ builder Ignaz Kober (1756-1813). Court organ builder Ignaz Kober (1756-1813), a student of Franz Xaver Christoph (1733-1793), the builder of the organ of the pilgrimage church Sonntagberg, built the largest 2-manual organ in Austria in the collegiate church of Heiligenkreuz. It has 52 stops and 2959 pipes. Opposite the Kober organ there is a small choir organ by Jan Vymola the Elder (1722-1805) from 1746, which has stood on a neo-Gothic side gallery since 1894. The instrument has 11 stops, distributed on a manual and pedal. The famous Viennese composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828) traveled to Heiligenkreuz on June 4, 1828, together with his friend Franz Lachner (1803-1890), to try out the Kober organ, which was already famous at the time. Both had composed a 4-hand organ piece each for this occasion the evening before - Schubert his E minor Fugue (Opus posthum 152) and Lachner the Introduction and Fugue in D minor (Opus 65) - and together they played these two compositions on the Kober organ. In 1889 Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) also played on this organ.
