Badlwandgalerie, Rock shed in Peggau, Austria
The Badlwandgalerie extends 362 meters along the Mur River, featuring stone arches and vaulted ceilings designed to protect railway tracks from falling rocks.
Built between 1841 and 1845, this engineering structure served as a prototype for the construction methods later applied to the Semmering Railway through the Austrian Alps.
Italian, Bohemian, and Moravian workers carved the gallery from solid rock, leaving inscriptions in the stone recesses that remain visible to this day.
The structure underwent multiple transformations, initially housing railway tracks, then serving road traffic until 1978 when structural concerns led to its closure.
The gallery incorporated two levels of transportation, with the railway line running beneath while supporting a commercial road on its upper section.
