Purkersdorf

Few towns in Lower Austria have a history as closely tied to Vienna’s recreational life and the Vienna Woods as Purkersdorf. Set in the Wiental, where the Wien River runs east towards the capital, it marks the transition between Vienna’s urban fringe and the forested hills of the Wienerwald. The town’s best-known architectural landmark is the Purkersdorf Sanatorium, designed by Josef Hoffmann and completed in 1905; its clean geometric form became an early statement of Viennese modernism. Purkersdorf is also part of the Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve, a protected cultural landscape shared by Lower Austria and Vienna.
