Leopoldstag and school calendar in Lower Austria

The patron saint of Lower Austria is Saint Leopold (Leopoldstag, 15 November), the medieval Babenberg Margrave Leopold III. On Leopoldstag, schools across Lower Austria are closed and state administrative offices shut. At Klosterneuburg Abbey, the feast is celebrated with the traditional barrel sliding (Fasslrutschen) over the monumental wine cask.

Lower Austria shares its February semester break with Vienna in the first week of February, with the school year opening in early September.
