Had enough time to stop in between work visits to go to Melk Abbey in Austria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melk_Abbey
I took a few pics but really came here to post about something I saw. There was a Chinese group taking a tour with a guide. The group was in front of me for most of my visit but something interesting happened when we entered the church portion of the building. A Chinese woman I would estimate at about 55-60 had what looked to me to be a religious experience. She began to cry and pray in the church. Her group was looking at her like she was crazy. Now maybe she was already a Christian but I would say the church also had a profound impact on me.
Some of the pics I took.
The church in the abbey
View from the abbey courtyard wall
View from the garden
And I didn't take these but view from outside of the city.
