Melk, Austria and Durnstein, Austria
... because of the very modern feel-- rooms with blue, green, red lighting--very strange since was not consistent with the time period of the abbey. The library and church were totally different and more what I expected. The church was a baroque design with ornate ceilings and lots of gold statues.
