Korneuburg, Administrative center in Lower Austria, Austria
Korneuburg sits along the northern bank of the Danube River, stretching roughly 12 kilometers northwest of Vienna in flat terrain. The town brings together rural quietness with closeness to Austria's capital.
The settlement was first recorded in 1136 as Nivenburg and gained the right to separate from Klosterneuburg in 1298. It then grew into an important trading center.
The town preserves several medieval and Gothic buildings that shape its streets and tell of a long past. Visitors can feel how history remains alive while walking through the narrow lanes.
Visitors can easily reach Vienna by train from here, making the town a practical base for day trips. The place is accessible by public transport and close enough to explore on foot.
An old shipyard site now houses two armed patrol boats that document Austria's naval history. These vessels show how industry and military past shaped the town's character.
