Gumpoldskirchen

The Lower Austrian wine-growing community is located in the wine-growing region of Thermenregion near the Austrian capital of Vienna. Until 1985, Gumpoldskirchen was an independent wine-growing region alongside Bad Vöslau. Even the Romans recognised the optimal conditions for winegrowing here in ancient times. The village was mentioned in documents as early as 1120, when the eponymous Gumpold von Pornheim gave his nephew Sigeboto vineyards here. In 1380, Duke Albrecht III (1349-1395) granted the citizens of Gumpoldskirchen the right, known as Leitgeben, to sell and serve their wine in the village. Later, the exact regulations for serving wine were laid down. In 1784, Emperor Josef II (1741-1790) confirmed the right of the wine tavern owners and thus laid the foundations for the wine taverns, of which there are many in this municipality today.
