Tips from the Community
The casemates in Wiener Neustadt are a defense structure of European significance, protected as a monument, whose origins date back to the city's founding in the late 12th century. After previous uses, including as an armory, beer depot, and event venue, the historic masonry has been extensively revitalized. Today, this architectural gem, along with the modern Neue Bastei, serves as a multifunctional center for culture, congresses, and social events.

Along this section, well-preserved historic structures such as the Rabenturm still bear witness to the complex's former defensive strength. Furthermore, various historical elements, such as old memorial stones, have been integrated into this part of the wall over time.

The boathouse in Wiener Neustadt is located directly on the banks of the historic Wiener Neustadt Canal and combines a popular boat rental with a welcoming excursion restaurant. After severe damage from a tree falling in the summer of 2025, the business was extensively renovated and expanded by the operating family and successfully reopened at the beginning of 2026. Today, the restaurant invites guests to linger with its expanded, pub-style food offering and its direct recreational area on the water.

Schloss Eichbüchl (Aichbüchl) was probably built in the 14th century by the Lords of Vierdung. According to other sources in Wiener Neustadt, it was supposedly only built between 1558 and 1566. It is possible that a first castle was destroyed during the First Turkish Siege in 1529 and that the current castle was rebuilt slightly off to the side.
