An interesting way to learn about the former town wall of Wiener Neustadt. At the Reyergasse 10 I saw this mural depicting the walls around the city. Some parts are still to see. E.g. the Reckturm Tower dating back to 13th century is placed at the north-western corner of the city.
The Reckturm is a tower dating back to 13th century. After its demolition it was reconstructed in the style of 15th century. The name Reckturm (reck = rack) refers to its use as prison and place for torture. Today it houses a small museum for weapons and about torment.
Building with lovely sgraffito seen at Neunkirchner Straße 19 in Wiener Neustadt. Around the gate one can see mythological creatures and the date 1584. The core of the house was built in 14th century.
Detail of an old advertising column seen in Wiener Neustadt. In German we call them Litfaßsäulen.
Fascinating old lantern seen in Wiener Neustadt, a city south of Vienna. I wonder what was the reason for designing this eagle-like bird so ‘plucked’?
