Wildendürnbach: Cellar Village, Church and Church Tower

A church tower without a church lends Galgenberg in Wildendürnbach an unusual accent. Nearby are a cellar village with up to three levels and the parish church of St. Peter, with its own architectural history and interior design. These distinctive features make Wildendürnbach an interesting destination for travellers who like to combine cultural discoveries with a clear choice of location. When planning your stay, you can weigh up whether architecture, the history of the cellar village, or the routes described here will be the deciding factor.

Cellar Village and Galgenberg

The cellar village on Galgenberg comprises 184 cellars and wine-press houses spread across up to three levels. The number conveys the scale of the complex, while the levels give it a vertical structure. The cellar village is distinctive both for its size and for its multi-storey layout. At the summit of Galgenberg, also known as “Golingbiri”, stands a church tower without a church. The contrast between the tower and the absent church creates a different accent from the many cellars and wine-press houses. In 2013, Galgenberg was named “Cellar Lane of the Year 2013”. This award adds a clearly dated historical reference point to the site’s architectural features.

Parish Church of St. Peter

The parish church of St. Peter was built between 1971 and 1974 to plans by architect Dr Hans Petermaier. Its construction dates offer a specific historical perspective, distinct from the cellar village, whose scale and levels can be readily grasped. Inside, the apse window and the “Sea Storm Sculpture” shape the church’s distinctive character. The church therefore offers two interconnected perspectives: its architectural history and its interior design. For travellers interested in architecture and art, these features provide a separate thematic complement to the sights on Galgenberg.

Haidberg as another point of interest

Haidberg offers another distinctive feature: it is recognised as being of national importance. You can include it in your plans alongside the cellar village and parish church as an additional point of interest. This means you can shape your stay not only around buildings and their design, but also around Haidberg as a point of interest in its own right. This contrast broadens the choice between different interests without requiring every experience to revolve around a single theme.

Routes and their different highlights

The EV13 route leads uphill from Wildendürnbach to Galgenberg. Both the direction and the climb are part of this route. The “Der Veltliner” cycle path passes directly by a sight in Wildendürnbach. The two routes offer different starting points for planning: Galgenberg is the stated destination on the EV13, while the sight along the way is the focus on the cycle path. If you would like to include routes in your plans, you can decide which of these route connections better suits your planned stay.

Combine your choice of location with your accommodation search

When looking for a holiday apartment in Wildendürnbach, you can first decide which themes you would like to shape your stay. If architectural history and interior design are your priorities, the parish church and Galgenberg offer specific cultural points of interest. If you would like to include routes in your plans, the EV13, with its uphill destination, and the “Der Veltliner” cycle path, with its connection to a sight, offer different options. Haidberg can also be part of your plans.
