The casemates
The architectural-historical sensation A casemate is a vault protected from artillery fire in fortress construction. Given their good state of preservation, the casemates in Wiener Neustadt are unique in Austria and are listed as historical monuments.The underground fortification dates back to the 12th century and was extensively renovated for the 2019 provincial exhibition after a century-long slumber. The only Strada Coperta preserved in Austria can be visited here. The Historic Casemates, the Zwingermauer and the Alte Bastei give an idea of how Wiener Neustadt defended and developed. If you want to know what an opus spicatum is, you can see particularly well preserved specimens as well as original plastered wall sections from the 12th century.
