Refurbishment in the Melk Abbey: Reduction of the makeshift bridge successfully completed

In Melk, an important stage was recently successfully completed as part of the reduction work of the abbey. The altan, a central component of the renovation, was the focus of the comprehensive work that had already started in March. In order to facilitate the restoration of the altane, it was necessary to install a makeshift bridge made by the Melker pioneers.

This temporary construction brought some challenges. The makeshift bridge weighs 18 tons and has a length of 25 meters. The precision and know-how of the pioneers were in demand to safely build the bridge. The bridge had the task of ensuring the accessibility during the restoration work and at the same time ensuring the safety of the workers.

After the work on the altane has now been completed, the makeshift bridge was dismantled again. This step marks another success of the project, which aims to let the Melk Abbey shine in new splendor. Those responsible are confident that the careful renovation work will not only emphasize the beauty of the historical building, but will also secure its preservation for future generations.

The work and the breakdown of the bridge were carried out with strict compliance with all safety regulations. The Melker pioneers once again showed their manual skill and flexibility in a demanding environment. The importance of this renovation extends beyond mere restoration, because it is part of the cultural heritage of the region, which is strongly linked to Melk's history and identity.
