Mauerbach

Gemeinde Mauerbach is an administrative municipality in Lower Austria situated near Vienna. The area is surrounded by forests and offers a quiet setting with gently rolling terrain.

The area was shaped by the Mauerbach Charterhouse, a monastery founded in 1313 that endured until the 18th century. This religious institution played an important role in regional development during medieval times.

The town is known for an art collection discovered in 1985 that had been hidden since World War II, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures. These works tell stories of protection and preservation during a dark period of European history.

The municipality is conveniently located near Vienna and is easily reached by car or public transport. Visitors should note that this is a quiet residential community where many shops and services have limited opening hours.

The area experienced strong population growth, particularly as it became an attractive residential destination for commuters to Vienna. This development transformed the rural character of the place into a modern suburb.
