Career
Career
Prandtauer was responsible for the baroque refurbishment of medieval abbeys in Austria. Trained as a stonemason rather than as an architect, he designed and supervised the construction of the church of Melk Abbey, in Melk, Lower Austria. He was the uncle of Josef Munggenast, who inherited his business and continued his style.
