Melk is a town in the western part of the Wachau Valley, in the lower Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea in northern Austria. It is a base for tourism in the Wachau Valley, and is a Benedictine monastery built on a hill on the bank of a branch of the Danube. It was built as a Benedictine monastery in the 11th century. It is also known that Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) stayed there in 1770 on her way to Paris to marry King Louis XVI of France. The building is a representative example of Baroque architecture in the country, characterized by its white and yellow color scheme, and is also a symbol of the Wachau Valley. ◇The monastery is 360m long from east to west, and is arranged around a church with a 65m-high spire, and is also known as the "Fortress of Faith." You can visit the gorgeous golden chapel and the library with more than 100,000 books. From the palace terrace, you can see the Danube, the Wachau Valley, and the city of Linz.

オーストリア北部、黒海に注ぐドナウ川下流域のヴァッハウ渓谷西部の町で、ヴァッハウ渓谷観光の拠点となっているメルク(Melk)にある、ドナウ川の分流のほとりの丘の上に建つ、ベネディクト派の修道院。11世紀にベネディクト派の修道院として建設された。その後、マリー・アントワネット(1755~1793年)が、1770年、フランス国王ルイ16世と結婚するためパリに向かう途中、宿泊したことでも知られている。その建物は、白と黄の配色が特徴の同国のバロック建築を代表する建物で、ヴァッハウ渓谷のシンボルにもなっている。◇東西360mの修道院が、高さ65mの尖塔のある教会を取り囲むように配置されていて、「信仰の要塞」という異名がある。金色に輝く華麗な礼拝堂や10万冊以上の蔵書を持つ図書館などを見学することができる。また、宮殿のテラスからは、ドナウの流れやヴァッハウ渓谷の景観、リンツの町並みを眺めることができる。
