    • The main attraction of Melk is the Benedictine Abbey.
    That is a cloister palace, from unbelievable size, on a leafy rock back.
    The Romans and the Babenbergs, built a castle in Melk.
    In 1089 the Babenberg margrave Leopold II donated the castle to Benedictine monks, who converted it into a fortified abbey.
    The fire destroyed the original edifice.
    This was completely rebuilt between 1702 and 1738.
    The Stift Melk attracts all attention to it, grows highly over the town.

    • The gate, at the east side,
    makes possible the entrance in an atrium,
    and then through the main entrance,
    in the Prelate's yard.

    • This pink-painted slice of the Stift has a unique architecture and is a strong attraction for the tourists.
    Here, romps about, delightful putts, and stone plastics, of Lorenzo Mattielli.
    The splendour staircase leads into the 196 m long imperial corridor.

    • This very beautifully built spiral staircase is a real artwork of the architecture.
    You can admire and enter this miraculous piece, on the way of the library to the abbey.
