History of the fountain on the main square of the town of Gföhl. The fountain itself is in neo-Gothic style and was erected in 1870 according to a design by Karl Rösner. From 1999 onwards, the main square was redesigned under the leadership of architect Gerhard Mitterberger for 9.3 million Schilling. During this process, the fountain was extended with a few subtly worked granite elements.

History of the Church: A church was first documented in 1327 and initially belonged to the parish of Meisling as a branch church. A new church was built in the mid-17th century, followed by the current church building, constructed between 1715 and 1720, which was consecrated in 1724. Damage was caused by fires in the village in 1748 and 1820. Subsequently, the church gradually acquired 19th-century furnishings. Damage to the roof truss led to the vault sagging. During a renovation in 2020, the vault was raised again.

The city gate of Dürnstein is one of the most striking structures in this small Wachau town and forms the historic entrance to the old town. It dates back to the medieval town defense system and is part of the old town wall. The gate is particularly photogenic, as it frames the view of the narrow, cobbled streets and the brightly painted houses of the old town. Formerly, the city gate served to control trade and secure the town.
