Fischamend

The Lower Austrian municipality of Fischamend in the district of Bruck an der Leitha is located at the confluence of the Fischa and Danube rivers - just a few kilometers from Vienna and Vienna-Schwechat Airport. Great sights invite you to take a trip or a short vacation not far from the big city. As a particularly family-friendly "children's town", Fischamend boasts three modern playgrounds. There are also beautiful historical buildings to visit, such as several churches and the water tower built in 1916.

Fischamend: a small town with a big history
Numerous historical facts make Fischamend particularly exciting: a Roman fort is thought to lie beneath the center of Fischamend, but this has not yet been proven archaeologically. In the 19th century, mills and the grain trade were the most valuable economic sectors, and in the 20th century the area was considered the cradle of aviation - with an airship hangar, airfield and the Fischamend aviation arsenal, where engines and airplanes were produced. Fischamend became a town in 1987.
