    Small pond - today with only very little water.

      The ancient Egyptians erected obelisks to worship their sun god, and generals and emperors used them to demonstrate their power. There has also been an obelisk in Eisenstadt Castle Park for more than 100 years.
      At the highest point of the palace gardens, it rises 26 meters into the sky: the Eisenstadt obelisk. But he is not the symbol for Egyptian sun gods and powerful generals, but for a sad, personal story.
      The stone pillar was in 1871 by Nicholas III. erected in memory of his deceased wife Sarah on the highest point in the castle park, said Rupert Schatovich from the Association of Friends of the Eisenstadt Castle Park.
