Wiener Tor in Hainburg an der Donau, Medieval fortification gate and museum in Hainburg an der Donau, Austria

The Wiener Tor stands 20 meters tall with an additional 11-meter roof structure, featuring two distinct architectural sections built from stone blocks.

The lower section was constructed around 1225 under Duke Leopold VI, while King Ottokar of Bohemia commissioned the upper Gothic portion in the late 13th century.

The museum exhibits display medieval weapons, historical guild items, and artifacts from the 1683 Ottoman siege of Hainburg an der Donau.

Visitors can explore both the defensive tower structure and the local history museum, which contains collections from the regional needle manufacturing industry.

Stone mason marks on the outer archway reveal construction techniques, while archaeological findings include Celtic remains and pottery from ancient settlements.
