Waldhausen im Strudengau

Shaped around the Augustinian canons’ abbey founded in 1147, Waldhausen im Strudengau developed into a market town on the southern edge of Upper Austria’s Mühlviertel. It stands above the Danube’s Strudengau reach, a historically feared stretch of river once marked by rapids and whirlpools before modern regulation. The former Waldhausen Abbey, dissolved in 1786 under Emperor Joseph II, remains central to the town’s identity; its church continues as the Roman Catholic parish church. Forested uplands and farmed clearings surround the settlement, while the Danube valley lies to the south.
