In ancient times the area was part of the province of Pannonia .

The Scharndorf defense tower , today part of the Roman Catholic parish church, was built around 1043. In 1072 Scharndorf was mentioned in the Salbuch (lease list) of the Göttweig monastery for the first time under the name "Scorindorf".

In the course of the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529, the region was devastated by the Turks and the population killed or captured. Resettlement did not follow until 1540. For this purpose, Croats who fled the Turks were settled in Scharndorf and the current districts of Wildungsmauer and Regelsbrunn.

In 1659 Scharndorf was hit by the plague . During the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, a large part of the Ottoman army was encamped in the village. After the Ottomans left, the place had to be repopulated again.

In 1687 Caspar Wolf from Pressburg delivered a bell that is still in the tower today. The plague hit the village again in 1739 and cholera in 1831 .
