Melk Abbey is a Benedictine abbey in Austria, and among the world's
most famous monastic sites. It is located above the town of Melk on a rocky outcrop overlooking
the Danube river in Lower Austria, adjoining 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.
