Discover Reisenberg: Goldberg, Chapels and Wine

Reisenberg can be discovered through its chapels, Goldberg and historic traces. The Nepomuk Chapel, the Vineyard Chapel and the Hubertus Chapel each add a distinct cultural accent; there is also the Via Dolorosa, archaeological finds and a Heuriger serving wines from Goldberg. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Reisenberg can incorporate a variety of interests into their travel planning without reducing the town to just one theme.

Chapels and Memorial Sites in Reisenberg

The Nepomuk Chapel is probably the oldest chapel in Reisenberg. It was probably built around 1780 after Reisenberg's first major flood in 1770, caused by the Leitha carrying floodwaters. This dating links the sacred building to a momentous event in the town's history.

The Vineyard Chapel of the municipality of Reisenberg stands at the northeastern foot of Goldberg at a fork in the road. Around the turn of the 18th century, the municipality founded it in memory of Reisenberg's former execution site, “Rots Kreuz”. The poorhouse in Reisenberg also included a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne. This historic picture is complemented by the Hubertus Chapel, also called the Peace Chapel, which was built in 1986.

Goldberg, Via Dolorosa and Early Settlement

The sacred memorial site Via Dolorosa, the Stations of the Cross on Goldberg, was completed and consecrated in 2000. The path leads uphill over several natural steps and through a short narrow passage to the Goldberg Chapel. Those who wish to combine religious and landscape impressions can take this section into account when planning their day. The specific route, with its natural steps and uphill section, gives the visit a distinct character.

Archaeological finds from the La Tène period and the Roman era at Goldberg provide evidence of the area's early settlement. At the same time, the steep southern slope of Goldberg is partly protected as a nature reserve. Thus, historic traces of the past meet a landscape to be consciously appreciated during a stay. This offers families with different interests flexible planning: while some travelers can explore sacred sites and history in greater depth, others can experience Goldberg as a landscape-focused destination.

Wine from Goldberg and Choosing Accommodation

At the Heuriger run by Ernst Hartl Winery, wines grown on Goldberg are offered for tasting and sale. This adds a regional flavor to the chapels and historical topics. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Reisenberg is a particularly interesting search option if you would like to organize your stay around these various themes. You can fit cultural discoveries, a section of the route on Goldberg and a visit to the Heuriger into your own daily rhythm. When choosing your accommodation, the main consideration should therefore be the desired focus of your trip: sacred sites, history, landscape or wine.
