Austria's oldest city by charter - Enns received town rights in 1212, making it the first settlement on modern Austrian soil to be officially recognised as a Stadt. About 9,800 residents live at the confluence of the Enns river and the Danube. The 60-metre Stadtturm, completed in 1568, dominates the Hauptplatz and serves as the city's emblem. Enns sits directly adjacent to the Mauthausen memorial, the former concentration camp four kilometres downstream where over 90,000 people were murdered between 1938 and 1945.
Basilika Sankt Laurenz, built on the foundations of a Roman-era church from the fourth century, is one of the earliest documented Christian sites in Austria. Excavations beneath the church have revealed Roman floor mosaics and early medieval graves. The Stadtmuseum on the Hauptplatz documents the transition from Roman Lauriacum to the medieval market town.
