MARCHEGG – Königsstadt und Auenwildnis
Historical sites
Description
The historically significant Marchegg Castle was once built as part of the town fortifications by King Ottokar II of Bohemia. The remains of the 8-metre-high town walls, medieval gates and towers can still be admired today.
Right next to the idyllic castle park is the nature reserve "Untere Marchauen" with the largest colony of white storks breeding on trees in Central Europe. The Storchenhaus Marchegg is the information center for nature tourism in the March floodplains, where trained guides lead guests through the natural surroundings.
In 2022, the newly renovated Marchegg Castle hosted the Lower Austrian provincial exhibition "MARCHFELD Secrets", which offered an exciting journey through the history of the Marchfeld region. From 2023, visitors will be able to take a look behind the scenes of the castle renovation for the first time.
Marchegg thus offers the whole family perfect conditions for an exciting journey through history.
