Wiener Neustadt

Among the cities of Lower Austria, Wiener Neustadt stands out for its long history as a fortified town on the Steinfeld plain. Set on this gravel plain in the Vienna Basin, it has a planned medieval core shaped by walls and regular streets. Founded in 1194, it grew into an important ducal centre; the Cathedral of the Assumption remains its principal Gothic landmark. Wiener Neustadt Castle houses the Theresian Military Academy, founded by Empress Maria Theresa in 1751. The Wiener Neustädter Canal, built to link the city with Vienna, adds another layer to its transport history.
