Hallstatt, Upper Austria, is a village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria. It is located at the Hallstätter See (a lake).
Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, a culture often linked to Celtic, Proto-Celtic, and pre-Illyrian peoples in Early Iron Age Europe, c.800–450 BC. Some of the earliest archaeological evidence for the Celts was found in Hallstatt.
In 1997 Hallstatt was added to the Unesco world heritage list.
On 16 June 2011, plans to build a replica of this village in China were first reported. On 2 June 2012, it was reported that Chinese mining company China Minmetals Corporation built a full-scale replica of the entire town in Huizhou, Guangdong province.
