Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Melk Abbey is a Benedictine abbey that overlooks the town of Melk. The abbey is home to the tomb of Saint Colman of Stockerau as well as many members of the House of Badenburg, which was the first ruling family of the country. The abbey was founded in 1089 and later became home to a monastic school and a significant monastic library, which was well known for its large manuscript collection. The baroque building that stands on the site today was constructed in the early 1700s and still exists as a school today. Self-guided visits are available from April to early November, however from November to March guests must arrange a pre-booked tour.
