These were however not all the Benedictine monasteries of present-day Austria. Those in the Diocese of Salzburg were formed in 1641 into the Salzburg Congregation, consisting of:
- Admont Abbey
- Michaelbeuern Abbey
- Ossiach Abbey
- St. Paul's Abbey in the Lavanttal
- St. Peter's Abbey, Salzburg
The diocese also then included two further monasteries, the locations of which are now in Bavaria in Germany:
- St. Vitus' Abbey on the Rott
- Seeon Abbey
Salzburg was secularised and became part of Austria in 1816.

Famous quotes containing the word congregation:
“Passing through here in 1795, Bishop Asbury commented, ‘The country improves in cultivation, wickedness, mills, and stills.’ Five years later, he held a meeting in the neighborhood and remarked that he thought most of the congregation had come to look at his wig.”
