A Wine-Growing Community with a Long History
Many stone monuments bear witness to the community’s centuries-old history: The pillory on the market square dates back to 1583. The parish church in Oberwölbling—a stately late-Gothic stepped church—offered the residents protection as a fortified church during the Turkish invasions. The interior of the late-Gothic church in Unterwölbling features charming details, such as a painting of the famous “Kremser Schmidt” on the left side altar. The Oberwölbling military cemetery serves as a reminder of the final, difficult weeks of World War II.
