Workers' settlement "Nadelburg
Description
The Nadelburg workers' settlement near Wiener Neustadt is an extraordinary historical gem and an exciting excursion destination for visitors interested in culture and history. The closed settlement was built from 1747 as part of a state-owned needle and metal goods factory and is now one of the oldest surviving workers' settlements in Austria.
With its small, uniformly built houses, narrow alleyways and village structure, Nadelburg conveys an impressive picture of the life of working-class families in the 18th century. Living, working and community were closely linked here. A progressive social model for the time.
Today, the Nadelburg is a listed building and invites you to take a walk through the history of early industrialization. The peaceful atmosphere and authentic townscape make it a special place off the beaten track around Wiener Neustadt.
