History

Maria Enzersdorf was most likely settled by the Romans and the Celts. It is mentioned for the first time in the 12th century. During this time period was also when Liechtenstein Castle was constructed as a fortress against the Magyars.

The town was destroyed in 1529 and 1683 by the first and second Ottoman sieges.

From 1938 to 1954, the town was part of Vienna's 24th district.
