You find this sundial on a chimney of Seitenstetten Abbey (Stift Seitenstetten). This abbey is a large Benedictine monastery in the Austrian region of Mostviertel. The inscription “Ora et Labora” refers to the motto of the Benedictines. It translates into “Pray and Work”. [German]
The drawing in the middle of the inscription represents the abbey arms. Visitors will find it as a part of the town arms of Seitenstetten again.
