Maybe the nicest monastery in Europe

Driving on A1 to Linz from Vienna, passing St.Polten city, you can't miss the yellow giant monastery on the right, in the village of Melk. The monastery with the same name is one of the nicest in Europe. Founded initially in 1089 but the impressive church and constructions were made middle 18th century in beautiful Baroque style Stift Melk serves the Benedictine Confederation.

Melk Monastery is a MUST VISIT while in Austria!
