Mariä-Himmelfahrt-Kirche, Gothic parish church in Melk, Austria
The Mariä-Himmelfahrt-Kirche features three naves with network-ribbed vaults, supported by pillars and decorated with intricate stone carvings throughout its structure.
Following a major fire in 1847, the church underwent extensive reconstruction from 1868 to 1877, including the addition of a three-zone tower reaching 55 meters high.
The church interior displays numerous carved figures and relief decorations depicting scenes from Jesus and Mary's lives, along with various patron saints against illness.
Regular religious services take place at the church, with Sunday masses at 10:00 AM and Saturday services at 6:00 PM throughout the year.
The Maria-Help Chapel on the southern side was constructed in 1684 as a testament of gratitude for protection during the Turkish threats.
