Melk, Vienna





Nearly 90km upriver from Vienna lies the small riverside town of Melk, full of 16th and 17th century buildings. But its crowning glory, and part of another UNESCO World Heritage site, is its Benedictine Abbey. Sitting on a bluff overlooking the town below, this 18th century Baroque masterpiece is divine…from its courtyards and galleries to its towers and Abbey Church.
