Enns

Tucked along the Enns River in eastern Upper Austria, Enns is a town whose character is shaped by its position close to the Danube and its Roman foundations. Known as Lauriacum in antiquity, it developed beside a legionary base on the Danube frontier; the Roman Museum Lauriacum keeps that chapter at the centre of the local story. Enns received town rights in 1212 and is widely regarded as Austria’s oldest town. The broad Hauptplatz, watched over by the Stadtturm, links the historic core to everyday cafés and shops, while the Basilica of St Lawrence recalls the importance of the former Roman settlement.
