Experience It! Melk Abbey is a Benedictine abbey in Austria, one of the most famous monastic sites in the world. It is located on a rocky outcrop overlooking the town of Melk on the Danube River in the Wachau Valley. The abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau and the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty. The abbey was founded in 1089 when Leopold II of Austria gave one of his castles to Benedictine monks. A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the 12th century. Today's impressive Baroque abbey was built between 1702 - 1736. Particularly noteworthy is the abbey church with frescos by and the impressive library with countless medieval-era manuscripts, including a famed collection of musical manuscripts and frescos by . Due to its fame and academic stature, Melk managed to escape dissolution under Emperor Joseph II when many other Austrian abbeys were seized and dissolved between 1780 - 1790. The abbey managed to survive other threats to its existence during the Napoleonic wars, and also in the period following the Nazi Anschluss that took control of Austria in 1938, when the school and a large part of the abbey were confiscated by the province.
