The stilt houses on Lake Attersee are UNESCO World Heritage listed stilt houses.
In 2011 Austria was awarded its ninth UNESCO World Heritage Site "Prehistoric Stilt Buildings around the Alps". As a special feature, this new world heritage does not only extend to Austria. Together with Germany, France, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland, a total of 111 pile dwellings of the Alpine region form a UNESCO World Heritage Site across borders. There are three world heritage sites in the Austrian lakes in the Attersee (ÖO) and one each in the Mondsee (OÖ) and Keutschachersee (K).
