Melk Abbey (German: Stift Melk) is a Benedictine abbey above the town of Melk, Lower Austria, Austria, on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Danube river, adjoining the Wachau valley. The abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau and the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty.
The abbey was founded in 1089 when Leopold II, Margrave of Austria gave one of his castles to Benedictine monks from Lambach Abbey. A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the 12th century, and the monastic library soon became renowned for its extensive manuscript collection. The monastery's scriptorium was also a major site for the production of manuscripts. In the 15th century the abbey became the centre of the Melk Reform movement which reinvigorated the monastic life of Austria and Southern Germany.
Today's Baroque abbey was built between 1702 and 1736 to designs by Jakob Prandtauer. Particularly noteworthy are the abbey church with frescos by Johann Michael Rottmayr (The triumph of the Monk), the library with countless medieval manuscripts, including a famed collection of musical manuscripts and frescoes by Paul Troger. the staircase between the library and the church, the pulpit, choir stalls, ceiling and cupola, the marble hall and the impressive baroque entrance leading up to the Prelate's courtyard.

Due to its fame and academic stature, Melk managed to escape dissolution under Emperor Joseph II when many other Austrian abbeys were seized and dissolved between 1780 and 1790. The abbey managed to survive other threats to its existence during the Napoleonic Wars, and also in the period following the Nazi Anschluss that took control of Austria in 1938, when the school and a large part of the abbey were confiscated by the state.
The school was returned to the abbey after the Second World War and now caters for nearly 900 pupils of both sexes.
Since 1625 the abbey has been a member of the Austrian Congregation, now within the Benedictine Confederation.
In his well-known novel The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco named one of the protagonists "Adson von Melk" as a tribute to the abbey and its famous library[citation needed].
Melk Abbey is also the metaphorical climax ("a peak in a mountain range of discovery") of Patrick Leigh Fermor's autobiographical account of his walking tour across pre-WW II Europe in "A Time of Gifts", which provides an lyrical, impressionistic description of the Abbey at that time

Dad and I head on with our roadtrip throug Austria and I have to say the Salzkammergut region is just so stunning. We made an unplaned stop at Traunsee which is a Lake, and took a walk in Traunkirchen an idyllic little village named after the lake.. or the other way around.
Moving on from there we drove out of the alps into a flatter landscape heading north east. I first heard of Melk Abbey through Souldtravelers3 and just thought it looked impressive and really wanted to check it out. Dad was up for it, so we made a stop at the Abbey on our way to Vienna.
Milk Abbey was founded in 1089 and is known for mainly 2 things. It’s frescoed ceilings and it’s extensive and impressive library.
The value of the books seems to be the reason why Melk Abbey was never seized or dissolved like many other Abbeys.
When the Abbey needed a renovation 20 years ago, they partially funded it by selling their famous Gutenberg bible to Harvard University.

The city of Melk dating back to the times of the Roman's occupation is located right on the Danube River in Austria. Melk is an important spiritual and cultural center that boastfully possesses the great Benedictine Abbey which is located on a rocky bluff overlooking the Danube River in the Wachau Valley.
The Benedictine Abbey also known as Melk Abbey was founded in 1089 by Leopold II, It started out as a castle which was then given to Benedictine Monks and is now one of the world's most famous monastic sites in all of the Western World.
Today, it is a private school, church, library, as well as a museum, which houses ancient manuscripts, religious doctrine and precious jewels throughout the millennia.
The Melk Abbey's exterior is now a combination of gold and cream colored baroque style architecture of the highest elegance. Within the Melk Abbey houses a first class library with a treasure of countless numbers of medieval manuscripts.
The Melk library boasts the largest ecclesiastical library in the world, (meaning books or manuscripts dealing with the entire Christian Religion), containing over 100,000 different books, scrolls and manuscripts. Only a fraction can be seen here in the most popular room of the library. The spiral staircase takes you to different rooms of the library that houses works from religion, theology, geography, astronomy and many other topics demonstrating how important knowledge was to the people of the abbey.
The Melk Abbey has contained a schooling program on the premises for just shy of a thousand years. Numbers of students have increased dramatically over the years and the resources that the library has to offer help significantly in the teaching to the new age peers.
Throughout time, this Abbey has endured and survived foreign invasion such as the Napoleon Wars and the annexation of Austria into the the Nazi Germany Empire. Even movies such as the 1986 movie " The Name of The Rose" starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater is based on this Melk Abbey.
Beyond hundreds of years, the religion of Christ grew within the Melk Abbey and around the region with different ornaments, clothing and traditions being displayed to the public during its reign and then preserved as relics and artifacts within the museums of the Abbey.
Clothing, chalices and staffs used my monks, priests and Popes are on display to demonstrate the power of Christ and how the Christian religion lives on here at this historic museum and Abbey.
The Abbey Church is a mass of stained-glass, multi-colored marble, intricate gilding with elaborate frescos in the dome. This church was used as the headquarters by Emperor Napoleon during his campaigns throughout Europe and barely survived the bombardments during World War II.
However, the abbey survived the test of time. It has endured the pressures of war and prosecution. The fog that surrounds it is possibly a reminder of how delicate its walls and ideas truly are to the world. In a glimpse it could have vanished as quickly as the fog that rolled in on it but it didn't.
It has stood the test of time to proudly show the world what this area believes in.
Melk Abbey, a sanctuary like no other.

A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the 12th century, and the monastic library soon became renowned for its extensive manuscript collection. The monastery's scriptorium was also a major site for the production of manuscripts. In the 15th century the abbey became the centre of the Melk Reform movement which reinvigorated the monastic life of Austria and Southern Germany.
Today's Baroque abbey was built between 1702 and 1736 to designs by Jakob Prandtauer. Particularly noteworthy are the abbey church with frescos by Johann Michael Rottmayr (The triumph of the Monk), the library with countless medieval manuscripts, including a famed collection of musical manuscripts and frescoes by Paul Troger. the staircase between the library and the church, the pulpit, choir stalls, ceiling and cupola, the marble hall and the impressive baroque entrance leading up to the Prelate's courtyard.

Melk Abbey (German: Stift Melk) is a Benedictine abbey in Austria, and among the world's most famous monastic sites. It is located above the town of Melk on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Danube river in Lower Austria, adjoining the Wachau valley. The abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau and the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty
The abbey was founded in 1089 when Leopold II, Margrave of Austria gave one of his castles to Benedictine monks from Lambach Abbey. A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the 12th century, and the monastic library soon became renowned for its extensive manuscript collection.

Particularly noteworthy is the abbey church with frescos by Johann Michael Rottmayr and the impressive library with countless medieval manuscripts, including a famed collection of musical manuscripts and frescos by Paul Troger.
Due to its fame and academic stature, Melk managed to escape dissolution under Emperor Joseph II when many other Austrian abbeys were seized and dissolved between 1780 and 1790. The abbey managed to survive other threats to its existence during the Napoleonic Wars, and also in the period following the Nazi Anschluss that took control of Austria in 1938, when the school and a large part of the abbey were confiscated by the state.
The school was returned to the abbey after the Second World War and now caters for nearly 900 pupils of both sexes.
Since 1625 the abbey has been a member of the Austrian Congregation, now within the Benedictine Confederation.
In his well-known novel The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco named one of the protagonists "Adson von Melk" as a tribute to the abbey and its famous library[citation needed].
Melk Abbey is also the metaphorical climax ("a peak in a mountain range of discovery") of Patrick Leigh Fermor's autobiographical account of his walking tour across pre-WW II Europe in "A Time of Gifts", which provides an lyrical, impressionistic description of the Abbey at that time

Dad and I head on with our roadtrip throug Austria and I have to say the Salzkammergut region is just so stunning. We made an unplaned stop at Traunsee which is a Lake, and took a walk in Traunkirchen an idyllic little village named after the lake.. or the other way around.
Moving on from there we drove out of the alps into a flatter landscape heading north east. I first heard of Melk Abbey through Souldtravelers3 and just thought it looked impressive and really wanted to check it out. Dad was up for it, so we made a stop at the Abbey on our way to Vienna.
Milk Abbey was founded in 1089 and is known for mainly 2 things. It’s frescoed ceilings and it’s extensive and impressive library.
The value of the books seems to be the reason why Melk Abbey was never seized or dissolved like many other Abbeys.
When the Abbey needed a renovation 20 years ago, they partially funded it by selling their famous Gutenberg bible to Harvard University.

The city of Melk dating back to the times of the Roman's occupation is located right on the Danube River in Austria. Melk is an important spiritual and cultural center that boastfully possesses the great Benedictine Abbey which is located on a rocky bluff overlooking the Danube River in the Wachau Valley.
The Benedictine Abbey also known as Melk Abbey was founded in 1089 by Leopold II, It started out as a castle which was then given to Benedictine Monks and is now one of the world's most famous monastic sites in all of the Western World.
Today, it is a private school, church, library, as well as a museum, which houses ancient manuscripts, religious doctrine and precious jewels throughout the millennia.
The Melk Abbey's exterior is now a combination of gold and cream colored baroque style architecture of the highest elegance. Within the Melk Abbey houses a first class library with a treasure of countless numbers of medieval manuscripts.
The Melk library boasts the largest ecclesiastical library in the world, (meaning books or manuscripts dealing with the entire Christian Religion), containing over 100,000 different books, scrolls and manuscripts. Only a fraction can be seen here in the most popular room of the library. The spiral staircase takes you to different rooms of the library that houses works from religion, theology, geography, astronomy and many other topics demonstrating how important knowledge was to the people of the abbey.
The Melk Abbey has contained a schooling program on the premises for just shy of a thousand years. Numbers of students have increased dramatically over the years and the resources that the library has to offer help significantly in the teaching to the new age peers.
Throughout time, this Abbey has endured and survived foreign invasion such as the Napoleon Wars and the annexation of Austria into the the Nazi Germany Empire. Even movies such as the 1986 movie " The Name of The Rose" starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater is based on this Melk Abbey.
Beyond hundreds of years, the religion of Christ grew within the Melk Abbey and around the region with different ornaments, clothing and traditions being displayed to the public during its reign and then preserved as relics and artifacts within the museums of the Abbey.
Clothing, chalices and staffs used my monks, priests and Popes are on display to demonstrate the power of Christ and how the Christian religion lives on here at this historic museum and Abbey.
The Abbey Church is a mass of stained-glass, multi-colored marble, intricate gilding with elaborate frescos in the dome. This church was used as the headquarters by Emperor Napoleon during his campaigns throughout Europe and barely survived the bombardments during World War II.
However, the abbey survived the test of time. It has endured the pressures of war and prosecution. The fog that surrounds it is possibly a reminder of how delicate its walls and ideas truly are to the world. In a glimpse it could have vanished as quickly as the fog that rolled in on it but it didn't.
It has stood the test of time to proudly show the world what this area believes in.
Melk Abbey, a sanctuary like no other.

The Abbey is built on a bluff overlooking the Danube River to the northwest and the town center to the south. Admission: € 7.50 without guided tour; € 9.30 with guided tour. Mid-March to November: visits possible daily with or without a guided tour (see Do below for English tours); November to mid-March: visits possible only with a guided tour mainly in German. Buy your tickets at the booth on the southern side of the Abbey and enter at the east grand entry. Most of the design of the present abbey (a reconstruction started in 1702) was by the architect Jakob Prandtauer. The Kaisergang (Imperial Corridor and Abbey Museum), 650 ft long, is decorated with portraits of Austrian rulers. The Marmorsaal (Marble Hall), contains pilasters coated in red marble; a richly painted allegorical picture on the ceiling is the work of Paul Troger. The Library, rising two floors, again with a Troger ceiling, contains some 80,000 volumes.
Abbey Church (Stiftskirche), with its 200-ft dome and symmetrical twin towers, dominates the abbey complex and emphasizes its sacred purpose. Damaged by fire in 1947, the church is now almost completely restored, even to the gold-bullion gilding of statues and altars.
Town Hall (Rathaus), in the center of town, was built in 1575.
Haus am Stein, built in the 15th century, is the oldest building in Melk.

========================
The Melk tourist office at Babenbergerstrasse 1 (tel. 02752/52307410) in the center of town, one block east of the Rathausplatz, is open April through October. Free town map with a self-guided walking tour, a list of Melk hotels and Zimmer, latest info on nearby castles, bike rentals, and bike rides along the River.
English Tours of the Abbey: daily mid-March through October at 14:55; cost: € 11.50 including tour and admission to the Abbey. Buy tickets at the south side of the Abbey.
Melk to Krems Wachau Valley bike ride. Pedaling along the most beautiful stretch of the Danube downstream 40 km with the slope in your favor (about 3 hours). Check with the Melk Tourist Office for the best route. The north bank bike trail is paved all the way, winds through picturesque villages, and runs near the river. The south bank bike trail merges with the actual road about half the time, but it has better river views.
Melk to Krems Danube River boat cruise. The downstream Melk to Krems cruise (~1.6 hr) is faster than the upstream Krems to Melk cruise (~3.3 hr). In the summer many tourist boats operate at the Wachau. The biggest and most visible boat companies are DDSG[2] and Brandner[3]. Both charge the same (€23 one-way, €27 round-trip), allow stopovers, and take bikes for free, but they are not necessarily the cheapest. MS Stadt Wien[4] is a popular alternative among locals (weekends only).

[dt.] Die Gegend um die Ortschaft Pöchlarn war bereits vor 6.000 Jahren besiedelt. Auch hier errichteten die Römer ein Kastell. Bekannt wurde der Ort als Stammburg des Rüdiger von Bechelaren im Nibelungenlied.
Der berühmteste Bürger der Stadt ist der Expressionist Oskar Kokoschka.
Nur wenige Kilometer weiter liegt Melk mit seinem berühmten Stift. Ursprünglich stand dort die Burg, die Markgraf Leopold I., aus dem Geschlecht der Babenberger, die eigentlich Popponen waren, zu seinem Herrschaftssitz machte, nachdem er 976 mit diesem Gebiet Niederösterreichs von Kaiser Otto II. belehnt worden war.
Damit beginnt das Kapitel österreichischer Geschichte, das mit der k.k. Monarchie endet. In die Amtszeit seines Nachfolgers, des Markgrafen Heinrich I., fallen die erste urkundliche Erwähnung von Ostarrîchi und die Hinrichtung des hl. Koloman, eines irischen Königssohns. Die Steinigung fand in Stockerau statt, begraben wurde er in Melk. Wahrscheinlich führte das Bestehen eines so wichtigen Grabes zur Gründung des Stifts.
Das Stift in seiner heutigen Form wurde vom Barockbaumeister Jakob Prandtauer errichtet und ist für seine wertvolle Ausstattung berühmt.
Nicht weit entfernt von Melk liegt die Schallaburg, die zu den schönsten Renaissanceburgen Österreichs zählt. Häufig wird sie für bedeutende Wanderausstellungen verwendet; 2006 war hier „Dschingis Khan und seine Erben - das Weltreich der Mongolen" zu sehen.
Vorbei an Marillenplantagen (Aprikosenplantagen) erreichen wir Dürnstein, wo einst Richard Löwenherz gefangen war.
********[en.]
The area around the town of Poechlarn was already populated 6.000 years ago. Here, the Romans erected a fort. The place is known as ancestral castle of Rüdiger of Bechelaren in the Song of the Nibelungs.
The most famous citizen of the town is the Austrian expressionist Oskar Kokoschka.
Only a few kilometers away is Melk with its famous Melk Abbey. Originally there was a castle, which Margrave Leopold I from the House of Babenberg made his residence after he had been enfeoffed by Emperor Otto II of Lower Austria with this area in 976.
Thus begins the chapter of Austrian history which ends with the Imperial and Royal Monarchy. During the tenure of his successor, Margrave Henry I, Ostarrîchi was mentioned the first time and St. Koloman, the son of an Irish king was executed. The stoning took place in Stockerau and he was buried in Melk. Probably the existence of such an important tomb led to the founding of the Melk Abbey.
The abbey in its present form was built by the baroque architect Jakob Prandtauer and is famous for its valuable furnishing.
Not far from Melk is Schallaburg Castle, one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Austria. It is frequently used for major traveling exhibitions and in 2006 one could visit "Genghis Khan and his Heirs - The Empire of the Mongols".
Along apricot orchards we reach Dürnstein, where Richard I Lionheart of England was kept prisoner in the Castle.

12 Melk Abbey Tour in Austria December 9 2015 The 900 year old Melk Abbey is incredibly beautiful and has been an UNESCO site since 2000. In 1743, Maria Theresa and Holy Roman Emperor Francis 1, the parents of Marie Antoinette, stayed here. Half a million people visited the Abbey and church last year, it is one hour from Vienna. The Benedictine Monks maintain Melk Abbey and their motto is pray, work, read. There are over 10,000 books here and some are over 700 years old. After our day on tour in Austria, we were invited to visit the kitchen after dinner.
