Horn, Municipality capital in Lower Austria, Austria

Horn spreads across 39 square kilometers of land in the Waldviertel region, with an elevation of 311 meters above sea level.

The League of Horn formed in 1608 when Protestant nobles gathered to negotiate religious freedoms from Emperor Matthias during the Counter-Reformation period.

The Sgraffitohaus, now housing the district court, displays traditional painted facades that represent local architectural techniques from past centuries.

The town accommodates 6,520 residents and functions as an administrative center for the Horn District under Mayor Jürgen Maier's leadership.

The Grass tower connects to Johann Georg Grasel's regional history, while nearby Kollmitz castle ruins stand above the Thaya river.
