Lienz, Medieval town in East Tyrol, Austria
Lienz extends across the Puster Valley at 673 meters elevation, surrounded by the Hohe Tauern mountains and Lienz Dolomites in the Austrian Alps.
The settlement received city rights in 1242 and became the seat of power for the Counts of Görz at Burg Bruck castle until 1500.
The city administration maintains connections with sister cities including Gorizia in Italy, Jackson in Wyoming, and Selçuk in Turkey for international exchanges.
The municipal office opens Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM, with extended afternoon hours on Mondays until 5:00 PM.
Lienz exists as an exclave of Tyrol, separated from North Tyrol by a 5-kilometer border established through the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919.
