Points of interest

Franz-Koller Observatory

This observatory is the oldest in the state of Lower Austria and has been open to the public since 1967. It is unlike many observatories due to its location in the middle of the city and its low elevation, making it susceptible to the winter fog that plagues the region.

St. Nicholas Church

This church is notable for its age. It was built around the year 1400.
