Worship Services:

new regulations for public worship services (update September 16)
As of now it is no longer necessary to make a reservation for the worship services on Sundays and feast days.
The entrance for the worship services in the abbey church is the “Old Gate” (in the opposite right corner of Prelate’s Courtyard, the second courtyard after the portal of Melk Abbey). A welcome committee will assist worshippers and ask them to use their protective masks that cover the nose and mouth, which must be worn indoors throughout the service. In addition, worshippers find registration lists in the cloister corridor so that they can leave their name and address or telephone number for contact tracing. We ask worshippers to use the hand sanitizer which is provided near the entrance of the church. Inside the church ONLY the seats with numbers may be used.
All these measures should contribute to minimizing the risk of a COVID infection, so we thank everyone for their constructive help!
