Braunau am Inn, Border municipality in Upper Austria, Austria

The town stretches along both banks of the River Inn, connecting Austria to Bavaria through bridges that lead to Simbach am Inn.

First documented in 1120 as Prounaw, the settlement obtained town rights in 1260 and developed into a crucial trading post for salt transportation.

The late Gothic St Stephen's Church, constructed between 1439 and 1466, stands as a central landmark with its 87-meter-high tower.

The municipality functions as a regional center with industries in aluminum production, electronics manufacturing, metal processing, and woodworking facilities.

The local museum displays a preserved bell foundry workshop from 1385, containing original tools and equipment from medieval metalworking practices.
