  • On 31 May 1188 Leopold V of Austria presented the abbey with a relic of the True Cross, which is still to be seen and since 1983 is exhibited in the chapel of the Holy Cross. This relic was a present from Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, King of Jerusalem to duke Leopold V in 1182. Heiligenkreuz was richly endowed by the founder's family, the dukes of Babenberg, and was active in the foundation of many daughter-houses. The following Cistercian monasteries received their first monks from Heiligenkreuz: * Zwettl Abbey in Lower Austria in 1138 (still existing); * Czikador in Hungary in 1142 (dissolved in 1526); * Baumgartenberg in Upper Austria in 1142 (dissolved in 1784); * Marienberg in Hungary in 1194 (dissolved in 1526); * Lilienfeld Abbey in Lower Austria in 1206 (still existing); * Sancta Corona, nowadays Zlatá Koruna, in Bohemia in 1263 (dissolved in 1785); * Neuberg in Styria in 1327 (dissolved in 1785). * More recently, in 1988, Heiligenkreuz founded Stiepel Priory at Bochum-Stiepel in the Ruhrgebiet. * Furthermore in the 1990s the monastery gave substantial support for re-founding Vyšší Brod Monastery in the Czech Republic. During the 15th and 16th centuries however the abbey was often endangered by epidemics, floods, and fires, and it suffered severely during the Turkish wars of 1529 and 1683. In the latter, the Turkish hordes burnt down much of the abbey precinct, which was rebuilt on a larger scale in the Baroque style under Abbot Klemens Schäfer. Heiligenkreuz abbots were often noted for their piety and learning. In 1734 the Abbey of St. Gotthard in Hungary was ceded to Heiligenkreuz by Emperor Charles VI, but was taken away again and united with the Hungarian Zirc Abbey in 1778. In its place the monastery of Neukloster at Wiener-Neustadt was joined to Heiligenkreuz in 1880. Heiligenkreuz was spared dissolution under Emperor Joseph II. The abbey was also an important Austrian centre for music for more than 800 years. Many manuscripts have been found at this monastery, most notably those of Alberich Mazak (1609–1661).
