    The towers served as defense towers, later also for the storage of ammunition and powder and finally as arrest rooms.

    The Two Towers ruins above Schottwien are a striking remnant of a medieval complex. The towers initially served as defensive towers, later as storage for ammunition and gunpowder, and finally as prison cells. Today, the ruins serve as a reminder of the eventful history of the old Semmering Road.
