jan 10, 1702 - Benedictine Abbey at Melk

Description:

Jakob Prandtauer designed it
Benedictine churches forsook the simplicity of typical Cistercian architecture and embraced the grandeur of light to rise from material to immaterial.From France the Rococo style spread in the 1730s to the Catholic German-speaking lands, where it was adapted to a brilliant style of religious architecture that combined French elegance with south German fantasy as well as with a lingering Baroque interest in dramatic spatial and plastic effects
