Wieselburg, municipality in Scheibbs District, Lower Austria, Austria
Wieselburg is a town with municipal rights in the Scheibbs District of Lower Austria, situated along the Erlauf River. The center is compact, built around a main square with older buildings and a few side streets that can be walked in a short time.
Wieselburg has roots going back to the early Middle Ages, with a church at this site first recorded in 976. The town only received its official municipal status in 1976, though it had functioned as a market settlement for centuries before that.

The town center is easy to walk around, with the main points of interest close together. A visit to the market square works well in the morning, when local vendors and small cafes tend to be open and active.
Wieselburg is home to a federal agricultural college and a research station focused on farming and rural sciences. For a town of its size, this makes it an unexpected hub for agricultural education and applied research in the region.
