Mistelbach

Mistelbach is a municipality with town status in Lower Austria, comprising eight smaller administrative units under its governance. The town sits in the northeastern part of the region, surrounded by countryside typical of this area.

The settlement first appears in written records in 1130, with market privileges granted in 1372 that helped it grow economically. These early developments set the foundation for its later transformation into a town.

The Hermann Nitsch Museum displays contemporary artworks from regional creators, showing how local artistic expression is collected and shared in the town. These pieces offer a window into how people here engage with visual arts today.

The town hosts several schools and training centers, including a Higher Technical School focused on healthcare technologies and vocational programs. These facilities are spread across the municipal area and serve students from surrounding regions as well.

The town holds four annual markets that trace their tradition back to medieval trading rights from the 14th century. These regular gatherings still shape local commerce and bring people together following a custom that has endured for centuries.
