About Aspern
What are the main landmarks in Aspern?
Aspern keeps only a few landmarks. The Asperner Pfarrkirche anchors the old village square, a parish church whose tower still marks the heart of the place. A group of Relieftondi, round carved reliefs, brings a note of public art to the surrounding streets.
What is the history of Aspern?
Aspern grew up as a farming village on the flat land beyond Vienna, its households tied to the fields and the parish long before the city reached this outlying ground. The Asperner Pfarrkirche served that old community. Market gardens once filled the ground around it.
Vienna spread outward only later, folding the village into its wider district.
Where is Aspern?
Aspern lies on the low plain at the outer edge of Vienna, a former village now set among the streets around the Asperner Pfarrkirche.
