Alte Schanzen, Natural monument in Floridsdorf, Austria
The Alte Schanzen forms part of a defensive fortification system with earthen walls and stone bastions in northeastern Vienna's district of Floridsdorf.
These fortifications were constructed in 1866 during the Prussian-Austrian War as part of a system of 31 defensive structures protecting Vienna from northeastern attacks.
The remaining structures at Bisamberg represent a significant example of 19th-century military engineering and defense strategies in the Habsburg Empire.
The site includes informational panels along walking paths that explain the military history and natural features of this preserved fortification system.
While most of the original 31 fortifications disappeared due to urban development, the Bisamberg section survived because the terrain was unsuitable for agriculture or construction.
