The town of Melk itself has some medieval buildings, some inns, a Renaissance-style post office, a guard tower, and a 15th-century pastoral church with a striking cross. Similar to the ancient town of China, there are only about 5,000 people in the town. So famous, it is the Melk Abbey that really attracts outsiders. The architectural style is the largest baroque building in Austria. The Melk Abbey is located on the top of the mountain, and the monastery overlooks the entire Danube TIPS: Photographs are not allowed inside Melk Abbey
