Idyllically situated on a high terrace above the Inn River, the Upper Bavarian town of Neuötting looks back on a long and rich history as a prominent trading center. The elongated, magnificent town square (Stadtplatz) is the undisputed heart of the community and is widely considered one of the most beautiful examples of the typical Inn-Salzach architectural style. Here, pastel-colored burgher houses with their characteristic false facades and grand arcades line the streets, lending the center an almost Mediterranean flair. The square is bookended by two imposing medieval town gates, the Burghauser Gate and the Landshuter Gate, which stand as monuments to the town's former defensive strength. Art historically significant is the Parish Church of St. Nicholas, an outstanding masterpiece of Southern German late Gothic architecture, frequently referred to as the "Cathedral of the Inn." Due to its close proximity to the world-famous pilgrimage destination of Altötting, Neuötting serves as a quieter yet culturally welcoming alternative for visitors. The surrounding landscapes along the river are also excellent for cycling and hiking.
