Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we would like to inform you about the precautionary measures to contain infections caused by the Covid-19 virus which will be in effect immediately:

  • The whole abbey is closed as of Friday March 13, 2020

  • There will be no Sunday Masses or Saturday worship services, weekday Masses or other religious events or celebrations in the abbey church or the abbey‘s affiliated churches in Matzleinsdorf and Melk.
    All churches are closed.

  • Discontinuation of abbey visits including the special exhibitions in the Columned Hall and the Small Baroque Cellar and closure of the Northern Bastion, the abbey park and the gift shops.

  • The abbey restaurant remains closed.

  • No classes are being held in the abbey school as of March 16, 2020 (for high school students) and as of March 18, 2020 (for junior high school students).

  • The guest house is closed.

  • All cultural events and sport meetings in the abbey are cancelled.

With these decisions we follow the guidelines of the Austrian government and the Austrian Bishops‘ Conference.

In the interest of our visitors‘ as well as our staff’s and the Benedictine monks‘ safety and health, Melk abbey asks for your understanding for these necessary measures.

We will be pleased to welcome you again as soon as we will have mastered this difficult situation together and can re-open.

Best regards

Abbot Georg Wilfinger
In the name of the monastic community of Melk abbey
