This small Upper Austrian market village on the water is best known for the former Garsten Abbey, a heritage landmark that now serves as a prison — an unusual pairing that gives the village a striking architectural presence. The surrounding area is thick with listed historic buildings, and the village holds a strong café and restaurant scene for its size, with mountain terrain close by and UNESCO World Heritage sites within the wider region.
