Description

The Benedictine Abbey of Melk is one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Europe. This gem of Austrian cultural heritage impresses with its rich frescoes, impressive library with more than 100,000 books and 1,200 medieval manuscripts.

Founded in the 11th century, the abbey underwent a spectacular reconstruction in the 18th century under the leadership of Abbot Berthold Dietmayr. Benedictine monks still live here today, continuing the centuries-old tradition.

Visitors can admire the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, the monastery museum and the beautiful gardens, which combine Baroque and English styles. The abbey also produces its own wine, which can be purchased as a unique souvenir.
