Niederkreuzstetten: History, Cellar Lane and Trails

Niederkreuzstetten offers historical points of interest, cultural themes and opportunities for outdoor activities. When planning your trip, you can choose from religious and archaeological history, cellar lane culture and walking on marked trails. A rapid transit station and a cycling route that starts and ends at the station are additional practical reference points.

Culture and History in Niederkreuzstetten

The church in Niederkreuzstetten is dedicated to St. James and has a Gothic chancel. Its dedication and architectural form offer two different points of interest: the dedication names the saint, while the chancel is an architectural feature. Niederkreuzstetten Castle is also worth seeing.

An archaeological trace can be found on Steinberg: a Bronze Age crouched burial was discovered there. A crouched burial is a burial in a squatting position. Niederkreuzstetten was first mentioned in a document in 1125.

The Niederkreuzstetten cellar lane is also a cultural attraction in its own right. The Association for the Preservation of Niederkreuzstetten Cellar Lane Culture is dedicated to its preservation. Thus, alongside the history of individual buildings, the upkeep of the cellar lane and the archaeological site on Steinberg are distinct points of interest in the area.

In the official Lower Austrian list of protected monuments, as of June 23, 2026, the Catholic Parish Church of St. James the Elder is protected as a monument by ordinance. A §57 executive order is listed for Kreuzstetten Castle. The list is not legally binding.
