Our tour started in the courtyard, which had incredible artwork at four different points. There was also a great-looking clock. After this introduction, our guide, Christine, took us into a several-room museum. Each room was lighted differently and contained various artifacts, all photo-worthy. We weren't allowed to take pictures in the library. We went outside onto a terrace that provided a place to photograph the town and surrounding area. There were no stained-glass windows in the abbey, but the carvings and artwork were spectacular. We walked back to our ship through the town of Melk, which was interesting and quite photogenic. Unfortunately, my camera was on the fritz, and all my pictures were badly overexposed.
列车还没到梅尔克火车站呢,就能看到梅尔克修道院的建筑,看起来真壮大。我们原来打算把行李放在火车站的存放柜,但不巧没有空的柜子。没办法,拖着行李,向修道院方向走。中途找不到能放行李的合适的地方,只好拖到修道院来了,在修道院门口售票处对面正好有存放柜,于是放下行李参观去了。内部大厅和书库等很不错。但最夺目是其教堂,规模不算很大,可里面金色耀眼,非常华丽,我很少看过这么华丽的教堂。我以为修道院是比较俭朴的地方,然而,修道院教堂竟然这么华丽,这让我有点意外。另外,旁边的花园和树林是散步的好地方,有时间的话,在这里走一走也不错。
We stopped in Melk on our drive along the Danube We were not disappointed. This enormous structure dominates the landscape from every direction and is even more impressive close up. Although it is an Abbey, this is no structure supporting the belief of self sacrifice and poverty. This is an awesome ( in the true sense of the word ) architectural masterpiece and is not to be missed. Note - there are some areas where you cannot take photos
What a wonderful museum with outstanding artifacts in a building that has so much history. The views are great but once you step into the library you are in another world. You end the tour in the chapel which is just stunningly beautiful.
We visited Melk Abbey when travelling from Romania to Bavaria by car and a good friend of us recommended this place as a really cool stop. I must say I didn't know anything about this abbey till that moment. The surprise was absolutely great!!! It was much more than what expected. This place must not be missed! You won't regret any second spent here.
Giant abbey ... looks beautiful! Especially the library was great!!! If you are on holiday in Melk - visit it!
冬天去的,修道院门外的雪景非常漂亮有如童话世界,修道院面积挺大的,有专人讲解,里面的藏书楼,天文馆值得一看,比较有趣的是盘旋楼梯底下有一面镜子,一边下楼梯一边可以看到自己,教堂里面的雕像更是金碧辉煌,值得一去。
The great abbey on the dnube, Melk abbey is great and beautiful. You must check the guide timetable to visit this.
The abbey is spectacular and it doesn't take long to see it. We booked an english tour, which lasted about 1 hour. We visited in February and there were only 4 people on the tour so we could admire the abbey without the crowds. However, the abbey has also a garden which we could not enjoy in this time of the year.
Four of us found the incredible find over the internet before we travelled to Europe. We took a one hour guided tour then attended Mass at the Abbey. For those of you that are history buffs, please don't miss the amazing site. I've never seen such a large, beautiful abbey. Very well organized for the tourists and lots to view. Our tour was only 45 euro per couple which was money well spent.
