Lonely Planet review for Stift Melk
Lying in the lee of its imposing monastery-fortress, Melk (35km from Krems) is home to one of the Danube’s most popular attractions, Stift Melk. This was once the residence of the Babenberg family. Benedictine monks transformed it into a monastery in 1089 and today its elegant rooms are complemented by a mineral collection in the museum.
