Nieder-oesterreich, Benedictinerstift Gottereich is a 1819 by Jakob Alt, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet countryside scene with a large, grand building perched on a hill. In the foreground, a small wooden church sits beside a dirt road where two cows pull a simple cart. Trees and bushes fill the middle ground, while the hilltop building has tall towers and a long, symmetrical shape. The artist focused on everyday life—cows, a road, and a modest church—while still making the big building look important. The text at the bottom names the place: *Benedictinerstift Göttweih*.
