Library of Kremsmunster Abbey in Austria
At the heart of the monastery of the Benedictine Abbey of Kremsmunster, founded in 777, this magnificent library was built between 1680 and 1689 by the Italian architect Carlo Antonio Carlone. It's one of the largest libraries in Austria, with about 160,000 volumes, as well as 1,700 manuscripts and nearly 2,000 incunabula. The most valuable book is the Codex Millenarius, a book containing the four Gospels written in Latin around the year 800.
