Leobendorf train station - Kreuzenstein castle

The covered and barrier-free station of the Vienna S3 and S4 rapid transit lines in Leobendorf - Burg Kreuzenstein awaits its guests with an impressive excursion destination.

The medieval castle complex and namesake of the local train stop was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and removed as building material. The reconstruction of Kreuzenstein Castle as a museum was completed by Count Johann Nepomuk Wilczek between 1874 and 1906 and is still a popular excursion destination in the heart of Museum Niederösterreich today.

Break in the line

In 1952, passenger services beyond Retz were discontinued due to political changes in Czechoslovakia. Passenger services between Retz and Znojmo were only resumed on 16.02.1989. In the meantime, the Floridsdorf - Stockerau line was electrified in 1962. The last section of the Retz - Znojmo line was only electrified in 2006 and is operated using the Austrian electricity system.

Tip: There is a nextbike rental station directly at the station. The bikes are available in Lower Austria from April to mid-November. You can find more information on the website https://www.nextbike.at/de/niederoesterreich/, or in the nextbike app.
