Brunn Im Felde: Village Green, Wine and Village History

Brunn Im Felde can be explored through its layout and several historical landmarks: the linear village has a rectangular village green with a pond in the middle. Other features include the parish church dedicated to Saint James the Elder, the former Admonterhof, the history of the village fountain and personal wine tastings at Mantlerhof. A route description dated 6 December 2020 outlines a walk from the church to the Emmauskreuz. When looking for a place to stay, it can help to consider these different topics as separate points of interest.

Village Layout with Green and Pond

As a linear village, Brunn Im Felde is shaped by its settlement along a road. It also has a rectangular village green with a pond in the middle. A village green is a shared green space in a village; here, the pond is its central feature. The layout of the village can therefore be understood through two related characteristics: its linear form and its clearly defined centre, with a village green and body of water. Those interested in the character of the village can use these features as a starting point before turning to its individual historical connections.

Documented History and Heritage Protection

Brunn Im Felde is documented in 1114 through Anselm of Hetzmannsdorf-Brunn, who is named as a witness in a document of Klosterneuburg Abbey. The Catholic parish church is dedicated to Saint James the Elder and is protected as a historic monument by decree; the Federal Monuments Authority lists it in its register as of 23 June 2026. The Admonterhof is the former farmstead of Admont Abbey. The church and the farmstead thus represent different historical connections: the dedication of the parish church and the former function of the farmstead.

The village fountain is also part of the village’s history. In 1996, the village community “Brunnen Aktiv” decided to reactivate the old village fountain. A new wooden draw-well was then built about three metres from the old fountain. The story thus encompasses both the community’s decision and the construction of a new well at an approximate distance from the old fountain. The decision and construction were two successive steps in this development.

Mantlerhof: Historical Significance and Wine

Mantlerhof is one of the oldest buildings in the municipality of Gedersdorf. Personal wine tastings are also offered at Mantlerhof in Brunn Im Felde. This brings together the building’s historical significance and a specific activity for wine enthusiasts. If a tasting fits your travel plans, you can make Mantlerhof a separate point of interest; its historical significance and its current offering are two distinct aspects.

Walk to the Emmauskreuz

The route description dated 6 December 2020 gives the parish church as the starting point for the walk from Brunn Im Felde to the Emmauskreuz. The public transport options mentioned for this walk include Gedersdorf railway station and the Brunn im Felde – Kapelle bus stop. Check the trail conditions before setting out and find out about current connections before travelling.
