Neusiedl - the town on the lake
 
Neusiedl am See is not just the town that gave the lake its name, it is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Neusiedl lake area region. The suns shines almost constantly during the warmers months of the year and the townspeople are hospitable to a fault. And couple this with the local Pannonian cuisine and you have a holiday resort like no other.

As soon as you arrive in Neusiedl am See you’ll feel everywhere a lightness of being that is typical of the region. There are over 7,000 inhabitants in this small town where there are countless opportunities for leisure, relaxation - and shopping! From the beginning of April till the end of October the place is popular with holiday-makers and people who simply enjoy their leisure-time: sailing, surfing, bathing, riding, tennis - or even doing nothing!

There is plenty of accommodation, lots of good places for pleasure-seekers to go and eat and cosy rustic inns for an evening outing with a glass or two of wine. Coffee-house fans will enjoy a trip around Schärf Coffeeworld: a personal guide will show you the whole journey from the coffee cherry to a delicious espresso.

A town with a history – a town that is much visited
If you look back you will see that Neusiedl am See was always a rustic town both culturally and in structure. The topographical features between the Parndorf plate and lake shore have meant that the original small village with its different buildings would become a classic ribbon development. All the historic and public buildings are along the main street. Some buildings are well preserved and the dwellings beautifully kept, there is a good choice of schools, lovely countryside and excellent transport links to Vienna, to the provincial capital of Eisenstadt and to Bratislava (in Slovakia) – these are the features that make Neusiedl am See a great place to live, work in or visit for your holiday.

The Tabor ruin – residential castle or defence tower
The Tabor ruin is a local landmark. Up till a short while ago it was thought that the tower was a Roman edifice but we now know that it is mediaeval (13th – 14th century) and was probably a defence tower or fortified royal residence - the experts are not sure at present. The view out over the town and the lake is unique and the sunsets especially enjoyable. Tip: Petanque (boules) playing area

The hill on the north shore – the Kalvarienberg
The Neusiedl Kalvarienberg with its botanical treasures is a gem, and the views out over the lake and resort are breathtaking. And as for grass cutting, there isn’t a gardener in sight – just a flock of Bohemian Forest sheep!
 The neo-Gothic Way of the Cross has a few unique features at the end. In contrast to the first eleven Stations of the Cross (wayside shrines) the twelfth is a three-dimensional sculpture of the crucifixion group made from sandstone. It is also different in that the last two Stations are in the chapel at the rear. In the park at the foot of the Kalvarienberg there is the newly renovated statue of St. James, thanks to which the area is now part of the international Way of St. James.

The parish church of the town
is dedicated to St. Nicholas and St. Gallus The original Gothic church was reconstructed in Baroque style in 1633. After the tower collapsed in 1937 the church got its onion tower. Especially noteworthy are the 18th c fisherman’s chancel and high altarpiece with an early town view.

The Evangelical church, the Vater Unser (“Our Father”), built in 1987, is on Seestrasse.
