Melker Stiftskeller – since 1629
In 1438 Melk Abbey acquired a building in Vienna. In 1510 the building was called Melker Hof for the first time and a chapel was built, which was dedicated to Saints Leopold and Koloman. Various additions and extensions turned today’s Melkerhof into a baroque-classical monastery courtyard. A document from 1629 proves the connection between a wine cellar and the Melker Hof and the right of the monastery to store and sell wines from the monastery’s vineyards.
The cellar is one of the oldest wine cellars in the city. In the rear wing there is a former sala terrena with a ceiling painting. In the dining room there is the so-called Schwind-Stüberl with wall paintings showing Franz Schubert and Moritz von Schwind with the muses.
Today, down-to-earth home cooking from Viennese cuisine is served in the Melker Stiftskeller (the crispy fried stilt is very popular) and wines from the monastery’s own vineyards and other wine-growing regions in Austria are served.
In the basement there are 280 seats in 7 rooms, which are available for dinner as well as for weddings, birthday parties and Christmas parties. It opens in the evenings from Tuesday to Saturday. The Stiftskeller is closed in July.
