Melk Abbey is an Austrian Benedictine abbey and one of the world's most famous monastic sites. It is located above the town of Melk on a rocky outcrop overlooking the river Danube in Lower Austria, adjoining the Wachau valley. it is full of atristic treasures, but I thought this simple hallway, in just one wing of the Abbey, was more typical of the monastic way of life.
