Bruck an der Leitha

Few towns in Lower Austria have a history as closely tied to the former Austrian–Hungarian frontier as Bruck an der Leitha. The Leitha, which gave the town its name, once marked a political divide here; neighbouring Bruckneudorf lay on the Hungarian side of the imperial border. Today, Bruck is a district centre in the Vienna Basin, between Vienna and the Lake Neusiedl area, with the Leitha Hills rising to the west. Schloss Prugg, reshaped in the 19th century for the Harrach family, recalls the town’s aristocratic past, while the old centre retains its intimate scale.
