Weitra

Let yourself be enchanted by the charm and atmosphere of Austria's oldest brewing town. Explore the old town on paths that the people of Kuenring used to go about their daily business many hundreds of years ago.

The enchanting town offers historical backdrops, vibrant city life and is adorned with beautiful places to take a break, such as the Gabrielental, the cistern or the lookout point. Weitra's town hall square is adorned with beautiful, colorful town houses and the picturesque Sgraffito House. The magnificent Renaissance castle is a real eye-catcher. In summer, the enchanting castle courtyard becomes a large, weatherproof event stage for festival visitors and culture lovers.

Visitors can experience the interesting history of the old town on a guided tour or with the night watchman, who takes them on his evening tour in a very special atmosphere.

Browse through the many handicraft businesses and find one or two treasures. Visit one of the typical Weitra events and experience what it means to experience culture up close. Discover Weitra's history piece by piece at one of the numerous exhibitions in the castle and the Old Textile Factory Museum, some of which change every year.
