Melke Monastery, towering over the rocky hills and overlooking the Danube, adjacent to the Wahoo Valley, gorgeously interspersed with mysterious religious colors, is one of the world's oldest monasteries.
Myrk Monastery is a monastery I love so much, and I often imagine the nuns shuttled inside, which is a bit like the Chinese deep palace compound, and may not be so free.
The interior of the monastery is visited to the monastery rooftop, from which you can see the distant landscape, looking back and forth, whether it is a river or a small bridge, and the roof of the fairy tale world.
The Melk Monastery is located in the beautiful valley area, not as famous as the French Monastery of Cernanke. But the overall building is magnificent, magnificent and rich in collections. There is no church ⛪️, it is worth a visit!
It is more like a palace, facing the tall twin-tower church with dark green vaults.
Melke Abbey is built on a towering cliff with an impressive library inside
Many people have been to Melk Monastery, but I am talking about a neglected beauty in the monastery I accidentally saw CCTV introducing the world’s most beautiful spiral staircase in Melk Monastery before I set off. So I came here to look for this staircase. In fact, everyone will pass this staircase, but everyone is just passing by. I don’t know that this staircase needs to be observed. From the top down, there is a mirror at the bottom of the stairs, reflecting the rotation of the stairs. As if it will go on forever, so wonderful idea; but the most beautiful to look up from the bottom of the stairs, can only make a surprise: wow! so beautiful! I am very glad that I did not miss this beautiful scenery, thank you CCTV!
The main color of the monastery is the "Tresia Yellow" Goose Yellow, which is the favorite color of the Habsburg Queen Maria Tresia. There are exquisite wet murals inside and the world's most beautiful library containing countless medieval manuscripts.
