The founding abbess of Nonnberg Abbey, the oldest continuously inhabited convent north of the Alps. Saint Rupert of Salzburg, her uncle and the founding father of Salzburg, established the abbey for her around 714 AD. Erentrudis led it as its first head. The convent has been continuously occupied by Benedictine nuns ever since, making it one of the most remarkable unbroken threads of religious life anywhere in Europe.
Visitors to Nonnberg Abbey today walk through a community that stretches back directly to Erentrudis. She is venerated as the abbey's founding patron.
