Gutau is a municipality in the district of Freistadt in the Austrian state of Upper Austria.

History

[edit]

Its name was first recorded in 1122. During the Napoleonic Wars, the town was occupied several times. After 1945, it belonged to the soviet control zone. In 1955 the Soviets left, so the infrastructural repairs and constructions began.
