Schwedenhöhlen

The Schwedenhöhlen consists of multiple tunnels and chambers carved into loess soil, forming an extensive network of underground passages throughout the area.

During the Swedish Wars of the 17th century, these caves provided protection for local inhabitants when General Torstenson directed military operations near Korneuburg.

The tunnels contain numerous chambers that demonstrate the architectural methods and construction techniques employed by Austrian farmers during the 16th century.

Visitors can access the cave system through marked entrances near Harmannsdorf-Rückersdorf, with detailed information available at the local municipal office.

The tunnels feature specialized storage areas carved into specific shapes, reflecting agricultural preservation methods developed during the medieval period.
