Liesing is Vienna's 23rd district, located on the city's southwest edge and formed in 1954 from eight former districts. The district contains historical sites including Schloss Alterlaa, Kollegium Kalksburg, and Wotrubakirche, alongside several viewpoints such as Steinberg and Eichkogel. The rolling terrain and scattered heritage buildings make it a destination for those seeking Vienna's outlying character.
