A town in the Austrian state of Styria



History

Bad Aussee is a small town located in the Austrian state of Styria, in the district of Liezen. The town has a long and rich history that dates back to prehistoric times.

The first known settlement in the area dates back to the Neolithic period, around 4000 BC. During the Bronze Age, the Celts settled in the area, followed by the Romans who established a settlement near the town.

In the Middle Ages, Bad Aussee was an important trading town due to its location on the salt road, which was used to transport salt from the nearby salt mines to other parts of Europe. The town also played a significant role in the development of the Austrian economy during this time.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the town experienced a period of religious turmoil, with the Protestant Reformation spreading throughout the region. The town remained predominantly Catholic, however, and was a stronghold of the Counter-Reformation.
