Local area
Stift Melk is a world famous baroque abbey and takes pride in its regal location high above the Danube at the 'Gates of the Wachau Region'. Melk has been the spiritual and cultural heart of the entire county for over 1000 years, initially as a Babenberg castle and subsequently, from 1089 onwards as a Benedictine monastery. The village has been able to preserve its architectural charm to this day and offers romantic lanes, renaissance townhouses, historic towers and the remains of the old town walls. Culture is an important aspect of life in Melk. Many events here have earned a reputation far beyond the borders of the Wachau region, such as the International Baroque Days with the Melk Whitsuntide concerts and the summer theatre festival.
