The Gothic Cathedral of St. Martin towers over the small old town of Eisenstadt. A first chapel at this location was built in 1264. The three-nave, Gothic hall church, which is still largely preserved today, was built between 1460 and 1522. A fire in 1589 caused great damage, especially to the roof and vault. Reconstruction began at the start of the 17th century. After the establishment of the Diocese of Eisenstadt, St. Martin's Church was elevated to cathedral status in 1960. Saint Martin of Tours became the diocesan and state patron.

It is quite astonishing that the monument to Eisenstadt's probably most famous inhabitant stands in this rather inconspicuous spot 🤔. Even if you park as a visitor in the Osterwiese car park, you overlook the monument, as it is located on the side facing away on Bürgerspitalgasse.

For some, it's a landmark of Eisenstadt; for others, an eyesore: the 17-story high-rise. For half a century, it has towered over all other buildings in the state capital. The first residents received their keys in November 1971. The Eisenstadt high-rise is 51 meters tall and was built during a time of great change, when modern times were dawning in the state capital. The renowned architect Martha Bolldorf-Reitstätter, a student of Clemens Holzmeister, was commissioned to design this residential tower for 72 apartments in Eisenstadt's railway station district.

A Gothic-Baroque church with a rich history. Haydn served as organist here, and many of his works were first heard within these walls.

The first documented mention of a chapel dedicated to St. Martin dates back to 1264. It was then that present-day Eisenstadt received its first name, "Minor Martin," or Kleinmartinsdorf. In 1460, a new church was built as a fortified church under city captain Johann Siebenhirter, as a Turkish invasion was expected after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The Gothic building was completed in 1522. After the great fire of 1589, almost 30 years passed before the badly damaged church was rebuilt from 1610 to 1629.

The Rossschwemme was a shallow, water-filled ditch for cleaning and cooling horses. A park was created here around 1920. In 2008, five sculptures (by Talos Kedl) were installed here, symbolizing the equality of the five elements (earth, water, wood, fire, and metal).
