Why this is the correct answer
St. Florian Abbey, situated in the rolling hills south of Linz, has been an Augustinian Canons' foundation since at least the eleventh century and reached its current monumental Baroque form in the eighteenth century. Anton Bruckner served as organist there from 1845 to 1855 and is buried beneath the organ, as he requested. The abbey's marble hall, library, and Baroque church together make it one of Austria's finest architectural ensembles.
