The existing library building of the Cistercian Monastery in Zwettl (Lower Austria) was built relatively quickly after a previous building in the years 1730 to 1732 and then, after completion of the painting decoration by Paul Troger (1733), also furnished. The building process and the intentions regarding the library system are easy to follow thanks to archival – so far unpublished – sources. They will be fully reflected for the first time in the presented paper. The construction of the new library is likely to have to do with the aspirations of the ambitious and scientifically oriented Abbot Melchior Zaunagg, who might the viewed as the "Spiritus rector" of the painting decoration (Hercules myth).
