20의 발트하우젠가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Originally, after the town's founding, Trinity Square was part of Zwettl's main square, which at that time stretched as an extensive triangular plaza from the townhouses behind the Hundertwasser Fountain to the level of the Hausleitner house above the "Zur Goldenen Rose" inn. The construction of houses along the lower Landstraße, the so-called "Grätzl," significantly narrowed the main square, and the addition of the cross street eventually divided it into two squares.

During the Baroque period, people everywhere were eager to express their gratitude for overcoming the plague years and the Turkish Wars by erecting plague or Trinity columns. In 1727, the pillory in the upper square was replaced by the richly sculpted sandstone column created by Kaspar Högl of Eggenburg. During the last renovation in 1998, extensive environmental damage to the figures was repaired, and the entire column was painted a light yellow. The four life-size statues are, in the center at the front, the Immaculate Conception; to her left, St. Sebastian (pierced by five arrows); to her right, St. Roch (pointing to the plague boil on his thigh); and St. Florian (holding a flag in one hand and a bucket of water in the other). The iron fountain in the immediate vicinity of the Trinity Column is a gift from the then-mayor, Eugen Beck, of the twin town of Plochingen near Stuttgart.

If you have time, you should definitely see the castle's interior. But be sure to check the opening hours. You can also stop for refreshments in the castle tavern. Good food!

This lake is near Ottenstein and has caused a lot of misery in 2024

Zwettl has a beautiful town centre and the main square is super beautiful. Unfortunately, the many cars and noisy traffic spoil the beautiful picture...

We read somewhere that this dam would no longer be approved today. Nevertheless, the lake fits well into the landscape. It has a strange, branched shape!

At the time of our visit, the restaurant was closed. Great location with the best view of the lake.

The best view of the castle is from the large meadow behind it. The best light for photos is in the evening before sunset.
