History & character
From Roman Military City to Modern Town
Enns is a town with a long history that dates back to the first settlements around 4000 years ago. The region was inhabited by Celts around 400 BC, and the Roman military camp Lauriacum, established as a town in 212, played a central role in early history. Over the centuries, the settlement evolved, gaining significance with the construction of the Enisiburg in the 10th century and the establishment of a market in the 12th century. The town charter from 1212 is the oldest surviving original document and underscores the city's historical relevance.
Today, Enns presents itself as a modern town with 12,191 inhabitants, located along the Danube and the Enns River. It is also the first Cittàslow town in Austria and is characterized by its 60-meter-high town tower as a landmark. Enns combines historical roots with contemporary life and offers an attractive environment for its residents.

Climate & environment
On hot summer days, local cooling matters. Some water nearby brings a bit of cooling.
Where trees or woody vegetation grow, from satellite imagery (Copernicus, 5 m, 2021 data). There is no tree register like Linz’s here, the satellite view still shows the real green.
Light & shadow
Check the light anywhere. Type an address or click the map, pick a floor and drag through the day. The buildings cast their real shadows. Pan the map to explore.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation.
