Perchtoldsdorf

Perchtoldsdorf is a marketplace metropolis within the Modling District, in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It is chiefly called a winemaking vicinity. It is placed straight away at the Vienna town limits, south of the Liesing borough and about sixteen kilometres southwest of the town centre. The western parts of the municipal region border at the Vienna Woods mountain variety. With a population of 14,614, Perchtoldsdorf is the district's 2d biggest municipality, after the administrative seat Modling. It is served with the aid of the Vienna S-Bahn community and also can be reached by way of bus and tramway traces run by means of the Wiener Linien public transport company.

The place formed a coast location of the Paratethys sea in the course of the miocene epoch, documented by using numerous fossilizations of marine creatures. Neolithic circular enclosures advocate the belief that the plain changed into continuously settled from approximately 6000 BC onwards. Perchtoldsdorf Castle possibly was laid out before 1000 AD, part of a series of fortifications along the jap rim of the Vienna Woods.
