    Located in the town of Merk, next to the Wahoo Valley. After entering the courtyard, there is a fountain and then visit from the left upstairs. The several exhibition halls on the left contain the collection of the court church and portraits of various rulers. The dome murals are very beautiful and have a three-dimensional feel. On the circular balcony overlooking the Danube River. Further ahead are two libraries of size, which are rich in books. After leaving the library, the stairs are the church. When I went there, I was worshiping at 12 o'clock. The whole church was gorgeous and solemn. After visiting the monastery, turn left to the garden. The garden is not big, just walk around. The whole monastery is still very beautiful and well preserved, it is worth a visit.

    In 1857, Emperor Franz ordered the demolition of the original medieval city walls and built the Ringstrasse, laying the foundation for the outline of the modern city of Vienna. Most of the buildings on both sides of the avenue were built between 1861 and 1888, which concentrated on the brilliant achievements of urban architectural art in the late 19th century. The Ringstrasse connects the famous City Hall, Castle Theater, Parliament Building, Art Museum, Hofburg Palace, Opera House, University of Vienna, Vienna Museum, Karlsplatz, Black Mountain Square, Imperial Hotel, City Park and other buildings
