Willendorf in der Wachau

The Venus of Willendorf was discovered in Willendorf in 1908 and remains the most important Upper Palaeolithic find in Austria. It is around 30,000 years old. Other finds at Willendorf have shown that the site has been occupied for around 50,000 years.

The Venus of Willendorf is part of the permanent exhibition of the Natural History Museum of Vienna.

Today, tourism, wine, and the growing of fruit are important parts of the Willendorf economy.
