츠베틀 주변 최고의 도시 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Klosterstraße와 Schulturm 사이에는 St.Martin 노인 요양원의 외벽으로 도시 성벽이 통합되어 있으며 인근 주차장에서 볼 수 있습니다. 노인 요양원 건설 작업으로 인해 수많은 새로운 돌파구가 만들어지고 있습니다.

1935년과 1938년 사이 언젠가 탑은 오늘날의 지붕을 갖게 되었으며, 그 이전에는 벽돌로 쌓은 성벽으로 알려져 있었습니다.

Schulturm은 성벽의 가장 동쪽 모퉁이에 있습니다. 탑의 평면도는 다각형입니다(여덟 개의 길이가 다른 변). 이 탑은 4층으로, 창문이 없는 하강층 1개와 상승층 3개로 이루어져 있습니다. 기존 성벽 앞에 배치되었으며, 넓은 안쪽 면과 연결 모서리에서 매우 잘 확인할 수 있습니다. 탑으로의 접근은 성벽의 통로를 통해 이루어집니다. 2층에는 방어 통로로 이어졌을 것으로 추정되는 막힌 문이 있습니다. 이전에는 이 방어탑을 Hafnerturm이라고 불렀는데, 이는 Neuen Markt에 있는 인근 도공(Hafner) 작업장 때문이었습니다. 현재의 이름은 1872년에 설립된 시민 학교에서 유래했으며, 이는 니더외스터라이히 최초의 학교로 같은 부지에 있으며 현재는 스포츠 및 경제를 위한 신규 중등학교로 운영되고 있습니다.

Lovingly restored, the crenellated wall projection is presented in all its glory, and interactive exhibits offer a vivid glimpse into the city's history. A path and staircase lead to the top of the city wall.

Once likely situated at the boundary between the original town layout and the first town expansion dating from before 1230, the so-called "Moser Tower" is now integrated into the house at Schulgasse 10. The three-story defensive tower has a ground plan in the shape of an outwardly curved triangle, resembling the prow of a ship. The masonry of the tower and that of the town wall in this area dates from the second half of the 13th century and is thus among the oldest surviving parts of Zwettl's town fortifications. In the early 17th century, it was called the Water Tower, probably because of the large town pond that at that time stretched from its base to the dam, today's Gartenstraße. The currently used name derives from the Moser family, who owned the tower and the adjacent house from 1870 to 1961.

The three bells originally located in the church tower, dating from 1779, 1818, and 1881, had fallen victim to the wars. To mark the 700th anniversary of the Zwettl Citizens' Hospital Foundation – now called "Zwettl Citizens' Foundation - St. Martin's Senior Center" – three new bells were acquired in 1998 and installed in the bell chamber of St. Martin's Church tower, which had been empty for over 50 years.

The old civic hospital, which was located outside the city gate before 1295, was one of the oldest in the region. In 1427, during their unsuccessful siege of the city, the Hussites destroyed the hospital and the adjoining St. Martin's Chapel. The new civic hospital was built on land acquired by the citizens of Zwettl in 1438 near the New Market and opened in 1448. The newly built hospital church was placed under the patronage of St. Martin. Gothic stonework can still be seen in the church today: the portal to the sacristy, the sedentary niche, and the square tabernacle. A late Gothic Madonna and Child standing on a crescent moon was restored in 1995 by Ralf Wittig from Zwettl and installed in the apse above the altar.

The local authorities succeeded in persuading the master artist Hundertwasser to design and construct a fountain in the main square. The presentation of the fountain model met with both widespread approval and vehement opposition from the residents of Zwettl. In 1994, the fountain, consisting of three main elements—the two fountain columns with basins and the pavilion—was unveiled to the public. Since then, it has been a popular meeting place in the heart of the town. Friedensreich Hundertwasser died in February 2000 at the age of 71.
