Model Residence

Carl Ritter von Borkowski (1829-1905) erected a model residence for Melk’s villa quarter in 1893. The building can be seen as a template for all later villas in the neighbourhood. Based on the standard plans and prototypes, property owners could then plan their own residences. They could also select from a variety of styles for the façade. The model residence is Neogothic.
