The respectable bridge is located at a small cycling junction with a route that is not very confusing.

Rothmühle Castle is a historical and cultural gem in the Vienna Woods region. It is a baroque castle built in the 17th century and has a medieval core. It was once the residence of Franz Anton Mesmer, the famous doctor and faith healer who also hosted Mozart. Today the castle is a bed and breakfast, a conference and event location, and above all the home of the Nestroy Games Schwechat, which have been held annually in the courtyard of the castle since 1973. The Nestroy Games is a theater festival dedicated to the work of Johann Nestroy, one of Austria's greatest playwrights and satirists. If you are interested in history, art and nature, then Schloss Rothmühle is an ideal place to visit. You can book or contact the castle online, or check out some photos and videos of the castle and the Nestroy games. I'm sure you will be amazed by the charm and beauty of the castle. 😊

The idyllic castle, where the young Mozart was a guest, is today a bed and breakfast as well as a conference and event location for the municipality of Schwechat. Since 1973, Rothmühle Castle in Rannersdorf, which is a listed building, has been the scene of the Nestroy Games in Schwechat.
