Korneuburg: Town Hall, Church and City Museum

A stay in Korneuburg can be tailored to a range of interests: the town hall and Augustinian Church showcase architectural history and art, while the City Museum adds another perspective through the former use of its building. There are also guided city tours, a themed cycle route and a weekly market featuring regional products. It is worth checking the respective dates before your trip if you plan to visit the market or join a tour.

Town Hall and Town Tower

The town hall was built in 1894/95 in the Neo-Gothic style. The medieval town tower, built in the 15th century, is integrated into the town hall complex. This brings two clearly distinct periods together in one complex: the town hall’s construction in the late 19th century and the much older tower. This contrast offers a concrete way to explore the city’s history, as it illustrates not only a single construction date but also the integration of a medieval element into the later town hall complex.

The large council chamber retains its original wood panelling, coffered ceiling and large chandelier. These three details complement the description of the exterior style with the furnishings of a specific interior. A coffered ceiling is divided into individual recessed panels; together with the wood panelling, it describes the room’s design in more detail than the general term “Neo-Gothic” alone.

Augustinian Church and City Museum

The Augustinian Church acquired its late Baroque appearance through a new building constructed between 1745 and 1763. The high altar features Maulbertsch’s fresco “The Last Supper.” The construction period places the church’s appearance in time, while the reference to the fresco identifies a specific work and its location inside the church. Visitors interested in architectural history and art will find two distinct aspects here that can be considered independently.

Since 1974, the City Museum has been housed in the former municipal bathhouse, known as the “Tröpferlbad.” The bathhouse was in operation until 1956. The dates therefore have clear meanings: 1956 marks the end of the bathhouse’s operation, while 1974 marks the start of the museum in this building. Its former use adds another facet to the city’s history alongside the town hall and church: a former municipal bathhouse has served as the City Museum ever since.

Guided City Tours and Themed Cycle Route

Guided tours of Korneuburg start at 10 a.m. at the City Museum. They take place on the first Sunday of every month, provided at least five people have registered. The time, meeting point and minimum number are all important when planning. As the schedule should be confirmed before your trip, check the date in advance and remember that registration is required.

The themed cycle route “Sagenhaft rund um die Burg Kreuzenstein” (Legendary Tales around Kreuzenstein Castle), which includes Korneuburg, offers a different perspective. One of the route’s stops is called “The Pied Piper in Korneuburg.” While the guided tour follows a fixed monthly schedule and meeting point, the cycle route places Korneuburg within a named theme. This lets you choose between a guided walk and a themed cycle route for your visit.

Weekly Market and Visit Planning

The Korneuburg weekly market takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and offers regional products. The morning opening hours give your visit a specific time frame. If you plan to visit the market, check the current opening times before your trip. The guided tour and the market follow different schedules: the tour takes place on the first Sunday of the month and requires at least five registrations, while the market takes place on two fixed mornings each week.
