Mauthausen Attractions

 
Beyond the inflow of the Traun and opposite that of the Enns lies the old customs post of Mauthausen, with Schloss Pragstein (15th C.; local museum) projecting into the river. In the Romanesque St Barbara's Chapel in the Late Gothic parish church are well-preserved 14th C. wall paintings. At the end of the town is a salt barn, a reminder of the medieval salt trade. Mauthausen has the largest granite quarries in Austria.
