Leopoldsdorf combines a family-friendly themed cycle route with an exhibition on local history and its own golf facilities. The history of brickmaking is a clear focus: you’ll encounter it both on the “Path of the Brick Barons” and at the AG34er House. When planning your stay around your interests, you can complement this historical thread with golf or cultural attractions in nearby Hennersdorf.

Cycle the Path of the Brick Barons

The themed cycle route passes through Leopoldsdorf and neighbouring towns. Numerous historically significant attractions along the route document what was once known as the “Path of the Brick Barons.” As a family-friendly cycle route, it combines a hands-on activity with a local history theme. Unlike the exhibition at the AG34er House, the route explores this theme along a trail, while the exhibition brings together several chapters of local history in one place.

Local History at the AG34er House

The exhibition covers the history of Leopoldsdorf Castle and the Wiener Neustadt Canal, including its only aqueduct, in Leopoldsdorf. The brickworks and the lives and working conditions of the people who lived and worked there are also among the topics. The castle complex itself is a local landmark; its first documented mention dates back to the 12th century. The exhibition thus brings together historic buildings and the history of work and brickmaking.

The exhibition is open on the first Saturday of the month from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Admission costs €6 for adults and €3 for children; check the opening hours and prices before your visit. Groups can arrange visits outside opening hours by booking in advance on 02235/424 36. Confirm current appointment options with the municipality beforehand.

Golf as a Distinct Attraction

Leopoldsdorf Golf Club has a 9-hole course, a driving range and a spacious putting green. This offers golf as a distinct focus alongside cycling and local history. Check the current availability of these facilities before travelling.

Culture in Nearby Hennersdorf

Hennersdorf is a separate municipality between Vösendorf and Leopoldsdorf in the Mödling district. It is home to the Hennersdorf Cultural Trail, a walking route about two kilometres long that connects historic sites. It starts at the Wienerberger brickworks and ends at the municipal offices. Unlike the family-friendly cycle route through Leopoldsdorf, this trail is designed for walking and is located in Hennersdorf.

St Andrew’s Parish Church is also a historic site in Hennersdorf: it is a Romanesque hall church dating from the early 12th century. The church and its rectory are protected historic monuments; the rectory dates from the 19th century. The 9er House adds to the municipality’s cultural offerings with cabaret and theatre performances, a theatre hall and an open-air stage.

Choose According to Your Interests

If you’d like to plan your stay around a historical theme, the cycle route and the exhibition complement each other: the route documents the former Path of the Brick Barons, while the exhibition also explores the history of the brickworks. Golf offers a different kind of activity. For more culture in the surrounding area, Hennersdorf can be explored as a separate place with its own historical and cultural attractions.
