!["Kleinzwettl is a village within the Gastern Markgemeinde in Waldviertal region of Lower Austria. Originally known as Münchenreith and part of the possesions of Count Conrad II of Raabs. After 1171 it belonged to the Cistercian Abbey at Zwettl. The church (Sankt Jakob or St James the Great) is one of the oldest in the Waldviertal -the other two early churches are the Zwettl Propstei and Altweitra near Gmünd-which have Romanesque origins and date from the 12th century. Klein Zwettl church is set on a mound and is a good example of a fortified church or “Wehrkirche“, which was surrounded by a wall and ditch. The stone gateway had a drawbridge over the ditch. The Romanesque church was remodelled in the 14th & 15th centuries when the arched gothic nave was inserted."
