At the beginning of the 19th century, Prince Johann I von Liechtenstein commissioned various vantage points around Mödling, which at that time was totally in the hands of rulers. Somehow understandable, because the view into the Vienna Basin is from up here the madness! Originally the tower, which is not black at all, was intended as a lookout tower, was used in the meantime as a forester's house and is now privately inhabited - so you can not visit it. The view on it together with a view of the valley is nevertheless impressive.

The Black Tower is a historic structure built in the 19th century by the Prince of Liechtenstein to beautify the forest. It stands on the foundations of an old guard house and is still inhabited today. The tower is located on the Calendar Mountain, a popular excursion and hiking area in the Vienna Woods. From there you have a beautiful view of the surrounding area, such as Liechtenstein Castle, the amphitheater and the Pfefferbüchsel ruins.
