May 25, 2026, Schloss Eichbüchl

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.

Katzelsdorf Castle was built in the 12th century and was once owned by Countess Carolina von Lipona, Napoleon's sister. Since 1994 it has been owned by the municipality and is used as a service point, culture and events center.

Great for running and walking, even on hot summer days, as the forest is nice and shady and cooler.

Unfortunately, the Neunkirchen factory canal and the Wiener Neustadt canal are diverted from the Schwarza, so the Schwarza is usually dry in summer

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges or elsewhere near rivers. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron saint of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession). The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.
