St. Florian Monastery in Upper Austria was rebuilt in Baroque style by Carlo Antonio Carlone from 1686 to 1708, and Jakob Prandtauer continued after Carlone's death. The infobox and text agree on the architects. The article calls it the biggest Baroque monastery in Upper Austria and names Bartolomeo Altomonte as fresco painter.
The article does not mention a commissioning client, though the Augustinian Canons occupy the site. The infobox gives 1071 as the consecration year. The text says the monastery was founded in the Carolingian period and has housed Augustinian Canons since 1071. It gives no materials or dimensions.
The Gestapo seized it and expelled the monks in January 1941. The church became a minor basilica in 1999. Anton Bruckner was organist there from 1848 to 1855. The site houses the Upper Austrian Fire Brigade Museum. The article gives no hours.
