Why visit
Ybbs an der Donau is the birthplace of Gregor Joseph Werner, born on 28 January 1693, the predecessor of Joseph Haydn as Kapellmeister of the Esterházy court.
Origins and history
There are hints of a Celtic settlement on the hill near the town called Marienhöhe, with an earthwork and sacrifice stones, though the site has not yet been studied scientifically. Excavations by the federal monuments office in 1962 and 1963 brought to light, in the south-east of the commune near the Sarlinger church, the foundations of a predecessor building, settlement pits and graves of the Hallstatt culture; a bronze sword is another witness of the pre-Roman period. In 1874, after a vote among the inhabitants, the church tower was given its neo-Gothic spire.
