Obelisk in Hadersfeld, Monument and obelisk in Sankt Andrä-Wördern, Austria.
The stone obelisk stands on a pedestal above an artificial grotto constructed from quarry stones and features a golden star at its truncated peak.
The site previously contained a Roman watchtower and served as a signal fire location during both Turkish sieges of Vienna in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Prince Johann Joseph von Liechtenstein commissioned the construction of a nature park near Hadersfeld Castle around 1800, incorporating this obelisk into the landscape.
The monument provides visitors with expansive views across both the Tullnerfeld and Marchfeld regions from its elevated position in northern Hadersfeld.
The golden star at the summit marks the historical boundary of the Diocese of Passau and references the triangulation point function of the structure.
