Townscape

Neuötting has a town square in the unique Inn-Salzach style, including two towers at each end. During the Middle Ages it was an important trading town for salt and grain, and had its own mint. It was also a military base for the Bavarian forces to keep Mühldorf am Inn, a rival town under the control of the Bishop of Salzburg, in check. Places of note for visitors are the large Gothic church Saint Nikolaus, the town museum, and the recently-improved town square, on which shopping and open-air dining can be done.

Trivia

- Most of the cobbles that make up the town square were made in China.

- A trolley line connected Neuötting with Altötting in the first half of the last century.
