Why this is the correct answer
Freistadt, located in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria north of Linz, retains an almost complete circuit of medieval town walls with towers and gates, a rarity in Central Europe. Founded in the thirteenth century as a fortified market town on trade routes between Bohemia and the Salzburg region, its historic center has been carefully preserved. The town also has an unusual tradition of citizen-owned beer brewing, with the Freistädter Brauerei still partially owned by local citizens.
