Austrian Melk Abbey | The Most Beautiful Abbey in the World

Hello, everyone, I am Jack's travel story. Today, I will share with you the Melk Abbey in Austria. ❤️About Melk Abbey: Melk Abbey (Stift Melk) is a Benedictine abbey, founded in 1089 and built in the 17th century. It is adjacent to the beautiful Wachau Valley. Melk Abbey is also one of the representative examples of Baroque architecture. It was built by Jakob Prandtauer between 1702 and 1738. The colors, light and shadow, and sculptures all have strong contrasts. 📷Photo Recommendations: ✅Main Building Area: Here you will find that the abbey's colors are mostly yellow, giving it a particularly elegant appearance. ✅Terrace: From the terrace, you can overlook the entire Danube River and the town of Melk. It's a must-see for enthusiasts. ✅Staircase: When walking down, you might unexpectedly discover this spiral staircase. It feels particularly special when photographed from the bottom up. Additionally, there is a library here, which is said to have 140,000 books, mostly stored in the library's basement. 💉Little Tips: ✅You can only quietly visit inside the abbey, and photography is not allowed, so please take note. ✅During the hike down the mountain, you can also enjoy the beautiful town and scenery along the way. If you have enough time, you can take a good stroll here.
