Lichtenwörth

Idyllic holiday tip for families and pleasure hikers: the market town of Lichtenwörth to the east of Wiener Neustadt scores with easy hiking routes and exciting excursion destinations. Several commemorative columns and plaques as well as other monuments and a Trinity column characterize the townscape.

The most important sights in Lichtenwörth
The parish church of Lichtenwörth dedicated to St. James is well worth seeing: the construction of the Gothic-style church began as early as the 14th century. The sacred decorative building was not completed until 1889. The war memorial, which was unveiled in 1992, is also considered an important monument and commemorates the victims of both world wars and the typhus epidemic in 1945.

The Nadelburg: Historical workers' settlement in Lichtenwörth
The Nadelburg is of particular historical and social interest - an industrial and workers' settlement from the time of Empress Maria Theresa. The origins of the settlement have survived to this day. The Adlertor, which used to be the entrance to the settlement, is one of three gates that has been preserved in good condition - and is now one of the landmarks of Lichtenwörth. In the extensively renovated Theresienkirche - a central element of the former colony - services have been held again since the 1960s. The private Nadelburg Museum, on the other hand, shows a valuable pool of photos, plans and exhibits from the active factory days. The exhibition can be visited by appointment.
