The exterior grounds were renovated and revitalized for the Lower Austrian State Exhibition in 2000. As the third part of the exhibition, these areas were open to the public for the first time, and were an area that visitors greatly enjoyed. Due to the great demand, Melk Abbey decided to continue to make these areas available to the public.
The baroque garden pavilion with its famous frescoes by Johann Wenzel Bergl can also be seen.

The abbey park was designed as a baroque park in 1750 and in 1822 the majority was replanted as an English landscape garden. In 1995 the large revitalization project was begun, which also included the creation of a garden of paradise and a campfire site.
