Diendorf, Rural settlement in Aigen-Schlägl, Austria
Diendorf is a settlement in the northeastern part of Aigen-Schlägl municipality in Upper Austria, located at 614 meters in elevation. The area consists of several small districts where residents live in scattered farmhouses and dwellings across the countryside.
The earliest known mention of the settlement comes from 1274 when Meinhard von Diendorf is recorded in documents. This shows how the area developed during the colonization period of the Bohemian Forest region.
The settlement shows typical features of an Austrian Rotte with scattered farmhouses and rural houses that shape the landscape. Visitors can still see today how this traditional pattern defines the area.
The location sits in rolling countryside and is best reached by local roads that pass through the area. Visitors should expect a quiet rural setting with very few tourist facilities or services.
A former customs building from 1922 stands at the Austrian-Czech border and marks the settlement's role in cross-border trade history. This structure remains as a physical reminder of when this area served important border functions.
