Twister !!!!
Melk has been an important spiritual and cultural center in Austria for over 1000 years. Stift Abbey became a Benedictine Monastery in 1089. Monks have lived and worked in the Abbey for over 900 years and it currently schools over 750 day students. The Abbey has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times and today’s architecture is from the 18th century. Shooting in to the haze and early morning sun.

The entire staff was phenomenal. I would like to point out Lea and Anastasia. Both helped me tremendously from breakfast (which Lea ran exceptionally) to random tourist questions I had (Anastasia was so helpful and patient). The room was lovely, the breakfast is tasty and many options and the overall vibe was classy but comfortable). I would definitely stay again. The one thing i must point out was the construction. The drilling and noise was present from my first arrival day to my last full day. I stayed 8 nights. I guess bad timing for me because it was constant. No way was I ever getting an afternoon nap. Again, not reflective of any of the staff just,bad timing for me booking during their upgrade. Other than that.....the stay was phenomenal!!! Thankk you !!!
