stift melk ~ melk abbey ~ austria

on the way back from slovakia we stopped by in melk abbey (benediktinerkloster stift melk, vorher auch stift mölk) in the wachau area of austria, at the beautiful unesco heritage benedictine monastery built 1702–1746 above the danube river. 

it is beautiful from outside + from inside, my dears and among others, it accomodates austrias oldest still operating high school (gymnasium).

enjoy few pictures:
