Mistelbach an der Zaya is located in the heart of Lower Austria's Weinviertel region and has a settlement history dating back to the Neolithic period. The modern town evolved from an early medieval settlement and was first documented as a parish in the 11th century. A defining landmark is the late Gothic St. Martin's Parish Church, which sits prominently atop the church hill. In the 19th century, Mistelbach benefited immensely from its connection to the railway network, which transformed the town into a central commercial and administrative hub for the region. The cultural landscape is shaped by viticulture, which has formed the economic foundation for centuries. Today, Mistelbach is a major educational center and home to significant medical facilities such as the state clinic. Furthermore, the town has established itself as a cultural focal point, notably through the International Puppet Theater Days and the Hermann Nitsch Museum.
