It stands on the site of the ancient Roman settlement of Ovilava,
which grew into an important administrative and trading center
within the province of Noricum.
For centuries, its strategic position supported commerce and urban growth,
linking routes across the region.
Today, traces of this past and the historic town center
reflect this legacy with preserved squares,
civic buildings,
and streets shaped by continuous development.
Few places in Austria illustrate such a long continuity of settlement.
