Pfaffstätten is a town in the district of Baden in Lower Austria in Austria.
At the heart of the town is the Lilienfelderhof, a so-called monastic grange, owned by Lilienfeld Abbey but leased to the Kartause Gaming Private Foundation for 99 years, until 2105. Traditionally dated to 1209, the estate has played a central role in the history of Pfaffstätten and in the lives of its inhabitants, many of whom attended kindergarten there, found short- or long-term employment there, or were married in the estate's church.
Pfaffstätten is also well known for its many Heuriger and the annual street fair, the Großheuriger Pfaffstätten, the biggest of its type in Austria, in which the local Heuriger of the town come together in a multi-day street festival.[1]
