Kuruzzenschanze, Austria, Military fortification line in Eastern Austria.
The Kuruzzenschanze extends for 18 kilometers from the Danube near Petronell, through Parndorf, ending at Neusiedl am See, featuring earthen walls and defensive structures.
The fortification was constructed between 1703 and 1711 during the anti-Habsburg uprising to protect against attacks from Franz Rákóczi's Kuruzzen forces.
The fortification system represents the military architecture of early 18th century Austria, displaying the defensive strategies employed during Habsburg rule.
Visitors can observe the remaining earth walls near Parndorf, which form the eastern boundary of the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, making the site easily accessible.
In 1956, the Austrian Army constructed modern bunkers parallel to the historic Kuruzzenwall, which were later dismantled after the Cold War ended.
