Reckturm

The Reckturm (Torture Tower) is a preserved medieval tower on Wiener Neustadt’s former city walls, dating to the 13th–14th centuries. Once part of the town’s fortifications and later a prison, it offers a stark glimpse into urban defense and justice in the Middle Ages. Visitors can view its robust stonework and surviving architectural details, and some tours include access to the interior exhibits. Located near the historic center and other wall remnants, the tower suits travelers interested in military architecture and regional history. Expect a brief, atmospheric stop rather than a large museum experience.
