if we wanted to see the fishponds while waiting for the guided tour we were
asked
fishponds??? I thought
at that moment a little door was opened and we stepped into another world...
... into a world of the baroque
era when heads of monasteries had nearly the power of absolute
monarchs.
the most famous architects & artists of the
time not only were responsible for church, monastery, observatory &
library,
they also built the fishponds at Kremsmuenster
