20 of the World's Most Stunning Libraries

Built in 1776, this breathtaking library is housed in the Admont Abbey, a Benedictine monastery located on the Enns River in Admont, Austria.

It was designed by architect Joseph Hueber and is known for its ornate Baroque architecture, art, and of course, books. Inside, the books are almost uniformly bound in white to match the predominant interior colors of white and gold. The dazzling hall is also accented with the peaceful pastel hues of Austrian artist Bartolomeo Altomonte's ceiling frescoes, which represent the evolution of human knowledge.
