The history of the Tabor ruins

The word "Tabor" is an old Slavic word and stands for the German word "view". It is therefore certain that long before the current ruins were used as a watchtower or royal retreat, the hill above what is now Neusiedl am See served the various peoples who lived here as a lookout point far into the Pannonian plain.

What can still be seen today as a ruin on the mountain that also bears the name Tabor is described by some experts as the former widow's residence of Queens Anna (1296) and Maria (1390), but by others as a medieval watchtower or royal residential castle. Some even date the tower stump to the 16th century. This shows that experts are not at all in agreement about how old the tower actually is. Until a few years ago it was even assumed that the tower could be a Roman building. Recently, however, the assumption has been confirmed that it is a building from the Middle Ages, which some people identify as a widow's residence and others as a defensive tower. At the time of the Kuruc raids, the tower hill was reinforced with ramparts, ditches and entrenchments (see pictures 01, 02 + 18).
