Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Tatjana Herzegova, Kiew, Ukraine

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The Parish Church of the Most Holy Trinity and the chestnut grove in Liebing show two different sides of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz: early local history and a natural site with very old trees. Other highlights include the Rosalia Chapel, the Günserstraße as a local reference to the Roman Amber Road, and the Schüttkasten at Tabor. This offers a range of interests for your stay: architectural history, events, or nature and hiking.

Cultural history between the church and the Schüttkasten

The Parish Church of the Most Holy Trinity was built in 1239; the Chapel of Saint Rosalia was built in 1873. More than six centuries separate their construction dates. A 13th-century building and a 19th-century chapel thus stand side by side as sacred landmarks from different periods. If you want to put the town’s history in chronological order, this gap offers a clear comparison between two buildings.

Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz lies on the Roman Amber Road, represented locally by the Günserstraße. This adds a historic route as another point of interest alongside the sacred buildings.

The Schüttkasten at Tabor was part of a former fortification and was once used as a storehouse and grain silo. It also hosts exhibitions, readings, and other events. For travel planning, this cultural attraction is distinct from the churches’ historic construction dates: if you plan to attend an event, check the specific dates before your trip.

Chestnut grove and hiking in Liebing

The chestnut grove in Liebing, a district of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz, is home to several chestnut trees that are around 350 years old; some trunks measure up to 10 metres in circumference. The grove was incorporated into the Alpannonia long-distance hiking trail in 2013. For hikers, the trees’ inclusion in the long-distance trail is a concrete planning consideration, in addition to their age. The measurement refers to the circumference of the trunk, not its diameter.

Plan your stay and journey

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide which perspective you want to shape your stay. The construction dates of the church and chapel, and the Schüttkasten’s former use, offer cultural and historical points of interest; the chestnut grove and its connection to Alpannonia suit those interested in nature and hiking. This comparison can help you decide on the purpose of your trip before comparing accommodation options. If you plan to visit the Schüttkasten for an event, check the specific date before your trip.

The Burgenland Card provides an additional B24 bus service from Vienna via Neutal, Stoob, and Oberpullendorf to Rattersdorf and Klostermarienberg. Check the timetable before your trip and choose how to travel to Mannersdorf based on the services available on your travel day.
