The Götzenturm (Idol Tower) is a medieval defensive tower on the city wall of Hainburg an der Donau, built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications. Often referred to today as the "Water Tower," the building originally had nothing to do with water supply – the name was erroneously coined by locals. The tower was part of the fortifications for the city's defense and, with its solid construction, small window openings, and elevated position, offers a good overview of the Danube and the surrounding area. For cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path or passing through Hainburg's old town, the Götzenturm is a striking landmark and an impressive relic from the time when Hainburg was one of Austria's most powerful fortress towns.

Beautifully preserved castle with open gates for cycling in, there is a restaurant in the first courtyard.

They say they have the biggest iced coffee from here to the Bahamas - only 6.90 euros 😉.

Petronell Castle was first built in the 11th century. The four-winged castle complex that still exists today was planned by Dominio Carlone (around 1615 - 1679) on behalf of the Abensperg-Traun family. The castle is decorated with frescoes by Caprovo Tencalla. The castle was owned by the Abensperg and Traun families for 17 generations and was sold to a private investor in 2006 and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.

Water tower (Idol tower), Hainburg a.d. Donau The Idol farm in the north-eastern part of the town was traditionally owned by the so-called Lords of Röthelstein, named after the extensive castle and fortification complex located about 2 km downstream on a steep rock massif above the Danube. The Röthelstein castle was founded around the middle of the 12th century by the Sonnberger family, who originally lived in the central castle on the Schlossberg. In the 13th century they were among the most powerful city ministerials in Hainburg. The Idol farm served them primarily as a power base in the town, as well as for managing their huge properties and fishing grounds in the Danube floodplains opposite, and undoubtedly also for Danube trade. The only, but extremely monumental, remnant of the Idol farm is the one built in the first half or shortly after the middle of the 13th century. The octagonal Götzenturm, built in 1444, forms the north-east corner of the city fortifications. Its first and second floors were used exclusively for military purposes (mainly to cover the nearby harbor area), while the third floor with its late Romanesque double windows undoubtedly served a representative residential function. The adjacent eastern city wall is probably one of the few places in the city fortifications that, like the Vienna and Hungarian gates and the castle's ring wall, had an external defensive gallery from which the attackers could be fought effectively from above.

Chapel at the Fishermen's Gate, Hainburg It was built in 1780 to commemorate the victims of the Turkish siege of 1683. Of more than 8,000 people in Hainburg (approximately 4,000 inhabitants and just as many refugees from the surrounding area), only about 100 survived the conquest of the town.

Blutgasse (Blood Lane) originally "Fleischergäßl" (Butcher's Lane), Hainburg "Blutgasse" was originally called "Fleischergäßl" because in olden times the butchers of Hainburg traditionally had their houses here – presumably also because the slaughter blood could flow so conveniently to the Danube through this lane. Later, the name became associated with a terrible massacre that took place in this area in the 17th century. During the second Turkish siege in 1683, Hainburg was besieged by the vanguard of the Turkish army. At that time, Hainburg had approximately 4,000 inhabitants, and about the same number of refugees from the surrounding area were also in the town. On the evening of the second day of the siege, July 11, 1683, a small group of Turks managed to penetrate the town from the south, coming from the castle hill. Thousands of people then rushed simultaneously into the narrow lane leading to the Fisherman's Gate. The gate below was designed to open inwards, but this was no longer (fully) possible due to the thronging crowd. Some likely managed to escape through the gate before it was completely blocked by the bodies of those rushing behind. However, the majority of the fleeing were trapped in the death trap at the Fisher Gate. Those who hadn't already been crushed or trampled in the narrow alley fell victim to the swords of the advancing Turks. A memorial plaque at the Fisher Gate commemorates this massacre; the small chapel outside the gate was also erected in 1780 to remember the victims of the Turkish invasion. (Years after this event, a gatekeeper at the Fisher Gate resigned his post because "it was haunted" – that is, out of fear of the ghosts of these many dead.) Of the approximately 8,000 people in Hainburg, only about 100 survived the Turkish invasion. The entire town lay in ruins. Furthermore, it is a fact that more than seven Hainburg residents survived the Turkish invasion. This tradition stems from a letter of appeal from the Hainburg town council, in which the government was asked for tax relief due to war damage. Certainly, some managed to escape across the Danube, and some may have hidden in the forests beforehand. However, with only 100 survivors out of 8,000, the toll of this war remains horrific enough.
