Huge concrete arch of the former winery. Is probably the "highlight" of the memorial. There are signs and panels with explanations and old pictures everywhere on site.

Impressive bunker system. The actual construction work on Weingut I began in July 1944. The plans envisaged a bunker consisting of twelve arches, which would extend 400 m in east-west direction. At the bottom it was designed to be 85 m wide. The interior height was planned to be 32.2 m, 19.2 m below ground level. The arches reached a thickness of three meters, which was later to be reinforced by another layer of concrete to a total of five meters.

The closed four-winged building with corner towers and gate tower was built between 1594 and 1620 by Sebastian and his heir Ferdinand von Haunsperg on medieval foundations. The castle includes the so-called Vorschloss (former farm) with two stable wings from around 1750 and the castle park from the 19th century. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Schwindegg
