    The historic center of Enns invites you to linger a while. From here you can also see the 60-meter-high city tower, which has shaped the Enns cityscape from afar. Enns is also the first so-called Cittàslow city in Austria. For a better understanding: Cittàslow is both a movement and also a kind of seal of approval for cities that stand up for inner-city deceleration with the aim of improving the quality of life in the city.

      One of the most beautiful town squares in Austria!
      And always has been ;-) Because Enns is the oldest town in Austria.

        The town square and the adjacent old town of Enns form a historically developed center with numerous burgher houses from the 15th and 16th centuries, whose facades display Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. The landmark and focal point of the main square is the approximately 60-meter-high, freestanding town tower from the 16th century. In addition to the impressive rows of houses, other historical buildings such as Ennsegg Castle, the Lauriacum Museum with its Roman artifacts, and remnants of the old city fortifications also shape the townscape. As a result, the heart of Enns offers an atmospheric blend of history, architectural diversity, and vibrant urban life.

        The town claims to be the oldest city in Austria, a claim that is disputed. The town charter from 1212 is certainly the oldest surviving original document and can be viewed in the Enns Museum. Enns is the successor town of Lauriacum, which was granted city status in 212. Furthermore, Enns was the first Cittàslow city in Austria.
