Stadtbefestigung Hainburg an der Donau

Hainburg an der Donau boasts one of the best-preserved medieval town fortifications in Central Europe. The roughly 2.5-kilometre wall ring from the 13th century still encloses the old town almost completely, punctuated by numerous towers and three monumental gates – the Wienertor, Ungartor and Fischertor.

A walk along the town wall leads through well-preserved defences and opens up recurring views of the Danube and the surrounding countryside. The fortifications make Hainburg one of the most striking medieval townscapes in Austria.
