The red thread - Melk
The building, dating to the Late Middle Ages, has housed the public apothecary shop since 1783. Signs of this are seen in the Staff of Asclepius above the portal
and the shutter paintings. The entrance leads to an arcade courtyard. Apothecary and mayor Franz X. Linde (1910–1926) had several Roman gravestones set into the courtyard walls when the local heritage museum was temporarily housed in the building.
