The town of Melk in Melk, Austria was originally the first castle in Austria with the exact history of the ruler Leopold I. When Leopold I was appointed by the Holy Roman Emperor as Austrian Minhou, Melk was the capital. It can be said that Austria also started from this. By 1089, the power of the Babenberg dynasty was growing, and the capital moved to Vienna. At that time, Austrian Minhou donated the castle that had lived in the Babenberg family for more than 100 years to the Catholic Benedictine Association. In the nearly a thousand years since then, it has been the place where the Benedictine monks lived and worked. Melk became the center of the region and became the spiritual and cultural center of Austria.
