Maria Taferl은 Mariazell에 이어 니더외스터라이히에서 가장 중요한 순례지이자 바로크 양식의 종합 예술 작품입니다. 교회는 오스트리아 바로크 건축의 "Who-is-Who"입니다. 그 앞에 서면 그 시대 절대 엘리트의 작품을 볼 수 있습니다. 건설은 1660년 다니엘 그란 아래에서 시작되었지만, 야콥 프란트타우어(멜크 수도원 창시자)와 요제프 문게나스트와 같은 거물들에 의해 완성되었습니다. 눈에 띄는 쌍둥이 탑과 밝은 파사드는 도나우 계곡 위의 왕관처럼 보이도록 배치되었습니다.

The bridge over the Melk River, just before its confluence with the Danube, offers outstanding views of the river, its estuary, and the surrounding landscape. Melk Abbey, a Benedictine monastery of outstanding historical and cultural significance, rises within sight. Founded in the 11th century, it received its present Baroque appearance in the 18th century under the direction of Jakob Prandtauer. The abbey impresses with its magnificent library, ornate state rooms, and the Baroque abbey church with its striking onion domes and magnificent frescoes. As part of the Wachau UNESCO World Heritage Site, the abbey attracts numerous visitors every year and, together with the view from the bridge, forms a particularly impressive panorama of the region.

Melk's town square forms the historic and vibrant center of the town. Surrounded by well-preserved house facades, cafés, and shops, it invites you to stroll and linger. Particularly striking is its proximity to Melk Abbey, which towers high above the square. As the town's central meeting place, the square regularly serves as the setting for markets, festivals, and cultural events, while also providing an ideal starting point for exploring the town and its surroundings.
