Tomb of Leopold III. the Saint - a photo on Flickriver

            Cloister of the monastery Klosterneuburg

Reliquary of St. Leopold
The preserved medieval parts of Klosterneuburg Abbey are located northwest of the collegiate church. Particularly impressive is the cloister, which was built between 1250 and 1350 and was provided with a six-part ribbed vault. After the catastrophic fire of 1330, it was originally decorated with valuable stained glass, of which some fragments have survived today in the Abbey Museum and in the Leopold Chapel. The cloister was restored between 1869 and 1881.
East of the cloister is the former chapter house (today's Leopold chapel), below which there is the tomb, in which the founder of the collegiate margrave Leopold III. and his wife Agnes were buried. To the left of the chapel's grid, a staircase leads down to the tomb, which is not accessible to the public. After the canonization of the Margrave in 1485, this room became an important place of pilgrimage. The room was decorated in 1677-1680 with stucco by Jakob Schlag and frescoes by Johann Christoph Prandtl. The ceiling scenes show various miracles, which are said to have occurred with the participation of St. Leopold. In this room is also the famous Verdun altar of 1181 set up above the 1936 a reliquary for the bones of St. Leopold was attached. Every year, on the day of the saint's death (15 November), his skull relic is presented in the chapel.
