The Stiftspark was created in the year 1750, as baroque garden.
Later, in the year 1822, this garden was changed, and redesigned, in bulk, to an English landscape park.
In the 1995 began a deep renovation scheme for this park.
The 250 year old lindens are a special attraction of the park.
Many tourists go for a walk, on which quiet and shady avenues of the park. Leave a Comment

The city Melk has the privilege to be placed in the Danube valley.
This splendid area is a region for the love on the first gaze.
Into this magical surroundings the nature and the constructions is narrow together interconnected.
The cloister castle of Melk has been long ago part of the miraculous landscape in the Danube Valley.
The majestically bridge over the Danube, the wine terraces and high over the stream the castle ruins, produce, all together, a grand romantic landscape.
In 2000, the Danube Valley became a World Heritage site due to its harmonious mix of natural and man-made beauty. Leave a Comment

The Town Hall square in Melk is the centre of this small town.
There, you find an intimate atmosphere, with old buildings, that are part of the history of Melk.
You have the possibility to go to stroll on this place, to shops, to sit into a fashionable restaurant or coffeehouse, or in summers, to drink a cold beer to a comfortable terrace. Leave a Comment

When visiting the library,or the marble hall
you will watch the exuisite frescoes which are decorating even the ceilings.Some may find the baroque style too exagerated,but that was the art style of those times and we cannot judge this by our today's art concepts.Everything is done with so much care for the detail,even the endless prancing angelsand the gold twirls.That care for detail is seen also in the library with the mirror room,with beautifully painted ceilings,the imperial rooms where various dignitaries(including Napoleon) stayed.
The care for the details is present even with the staircases,which one can consider also works of art.
Have I convinced you to visit Melk Monastery ?
It is open daily May-Sept 9 am-6 pm,Oct.-Nov 3 between 9 am-5 pm.Visits between Nov.4 till April are limited to guided tours which go twice a day at 11 am and 2 pm local times
Miss the beautiful library room,the church and the park Leave a Comment
