As we went from room to room, not only did our guide lock each door with a key, and then armed the alarm electronically as we left. Incredible security in this place. This hallway seems to just go on forever. This is a replica of the Melk cross. The Melk cross is their most valuable possession as it encases a splinter from Christ's cross.
This cape and staff are still used today at Christmas and Easter.
This is the painted ceiling in the marble room. This room was used as a dining room by the empress Maria Theresa when she came there. She often brought a party of over 300 people with her when she travelled here. I really liked the library, although this is only one of ten rooms that make up the library. There were books there that were over 700 years old.
These two pictures come from the church itself. It was breath taking. I took so many pictures, but am only incuding two here.
We're going into the town of Melk for lunch.
