Tips from the Community
Ybbs is one of the oldest cities in Austria (city rights since 1317) and, due to its strategic location at the end of the Strudengau, was a place where people were forced to stop for centuries - formerly because of the dangerous whirlpools, today because of the quality of life. In the Schmiedgasse and along the Donaulände you can still see remains of the medieval city fortifications. Ybbs was once a heavily secured fortress against invasions from the east. The Jewish cemetery is located just outside the center and is a reminder of the once important Jewish community in Ybbs.

Of particular interest here are the "Donaulände" (Danube banks) and the historic buildings of the old town. There, you can take a historical tour of Ybbs. A charming city councilor presents sights such as the Mozart Hall, the Kilian Fountain, the Schiffmeisterhaus (Shipmaster's House), and the Princely Castle on interactive information panels.

The favorable location on the Danube and the leading trade routes led to the early development of a trading center on the Danube under the protection of a Carolingian castle settlement called "Eparesburg," as mentioned in the Raffelstetten Customs Ordinance around the year 905. After the Battle of Lechfeld on St. Lawrence's Day (August 10) in 955, this castle was expanded and provided with a chapel in honor of St. Lawrence. Later, it appeared as St. Michael's Chapel, popularly also known as St. Barbara's Chapel. This was probably destroyed by one of the great city fires (1716 and 1868) and today serves as a residential building (Kirchenplatz 6). Around the "Eparesburg" – in the area of today's Kirchenplatz – a (probably Slavic) scattered village gradually developed into a planned town, which was fortified in the 14th century. A moat and a ring wall were built around the town. The princely castle was built at what is now the Linz Gate. This allowed the parish church to expand next to the St. Barbara Chapel in the old – now abandoned – castle area directly on the Danube.

A church was documented in 1200/1208. The parish was documented in 1250/1260 and belonged to the Diocese of Passau until 1784. The church's Romanesque predecessor stood in the area of the present-day central nave of the nave. The Viennese cathedral master builder Laurenz Spenning was commissioned to vault the late Gothic church in 1466. Probably at the initiative of Hans Geyer von Osterburg, the multi-story gate tower of the former Ybbsburg Castle was converted into a choir. Until 1771, the cemetery was located south of the church. The church was restored externally in 1992 and internally in 1997 (Wikipedia).
