history
The Mattig Valley was already settled in the Stone Age, around 7,000 years ago. Accordingly, many historical finds have been made. The best known is the golden choker from a princely barrow. It is a grave attachment from the Hallstatt period . The necklace was recovered in 1885 on behalf of the Upper Austrian State Museum and can be viewed in Linz today. Unfortunately, many of these finds also fell victim to looters. Just a few decades ago, remnants of Roman roads could still be seen in the Lohnau district.
In 789 Helpfau was first mentioned in a document as "Helpfo". Uttendorf was first mentioned in 1120. Market rights were granted in 1481. Until 1780 the place was Bavarian and after the peace of Teschen with the Innviertel (then Innbaiern ) came to Austria.
In 1779 - after the Innviertel was incorporated into Austria - Uttendorf is described as follows:
A princely market and its own nursing dishes. In the older times belonged to the Trostburg nursing court, where it is also counted in the Wening's topography T.II p.53. Located on the Mattig River between Mauerkirchen and Mattigkofen. There is news there that in 1692, on July 17th, the water of the otherwise small Mattig ran up so much after a downpour and long rain that one could sail through the market in ships like on a ship-wide water. By the way, this area is very famous for its game and good fishing. In the year 1441 and 50 years later this market was put into the ashes twice, where all the documents and other original letters of the market were destroyed during the last fire. In the church, the holy apostles Peter and Paul are venerated as patron saints. About four hundred years ago Bernhard von Grambs owned Uttendorf as a lordship. After the extinction of this generation is the house of Bavaria same home like .
Briefly Bavarian again during the Napoleonic Wars , it has finally belonged to Upper Austria since 1816 ( Treaty of Munich ). The market, which was destroyed by fire in 1835, was rebuilt by 1841. Until 1850 today's Helpfau-Uttendorf consisted of the four tax communities Kager, Helpfau, St. Florian and Uttendorf. On May 11th of this year the local council decided to found the double community Helpfau-Uttendorf. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Reichsgau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

- Uttendorf Castle : The Prince's Castle Uttendorf was a castle that was once located on the Kalvarienberg above the market. In the 18th century it was demolished due to its ailing condition. The stones were then used to build the St. Josef Hospital in Braunau am Inn. The only remaining part of the palace is the former palace chapel on the Schlossberg. Today it is the landmark of Uttendorf. The area where the building was located is now wooded. A few remains of the foundation walls can still be seen. The princely castle of Uttendorf is anchored in the municipal coat of arms.

With a diameter of 64 m and a hedge length of around 1000 linear meters, it should be the largest hedge labyrinth in Austria and open to the public by 2014 at the latest. The motto of the labyrinth - ... and should meet each other in a spirit of brotherhood! - is taken from the human rights declaration of 1948.
