Josefswarte, Perchtoldsdorf, Observation tower in Perchtoldsdorf, Austria.
The Josefswarte tower reaches 575 meters in elevation, offering views across the Vienna Basin toward the Leitha Mountains and Little Carpathians.
The initial wooden structure from 1881 was replaced in 1891 with an iron tower, funded by donations and the Lower Austrian Mountain Association.
The tower received its name from Josef Hyrtl, a notable doctor and philanthropist who contributed to the development of Perchtoldsdorf.
The tower underwent renovations requiring 90 kilograms of paint and three tons of wood material to repair the stairs and observation platforms.
From the north side, visitors could formerly see the Perlmooser cement factory ruins in Kaltenleutgeben before their complete demolition.
