Gaming (German: [ˈɡamɪŋ]) is a municipality within the district of Scheibbs in Lower Austria. It is known, primarily, for an old Carthusian monastery existing within its borders. This served as the home and burial place of Duke Albert II of the Habsburg family, and now serves as the main campus for the Franciscan University of Steubenville's Study Abroad program.
