Hausbrunn: Wine Cellar Lane, Church Construction and Preyer Memorial

Hausbrunn combines a landscape of gentle hills and green meadows with several cultural and historical themes. Different interests can be part of your travel planning: walks and hikes in the countryside, wine-growing and wine cellars at the Small Cellar Museum, the history of the parish church, and the commemoration of Gottfried Preyer. Two named routes also pass through Hausbrunn. You can therefore get to know the town through its landscape, architectural history, a biographical connection or the course of a route.

Landscape and walks

Gentle hills and green meadows provide the setting for walks and hikes. The landscape is thus as much a part of Hausbrunn’s character as its architectural and cultural history. If you include both in your travel plans, you can balance your interest in nature with your interest in culture. The hilly landscape lends the area its own character, while the museum, church and memorial each offer a specific historical or cultural connection.

Wine-growing and Gottfried Preyer

The Hausbrunn Small Cellar Museum is located in Kellergasse Edenberg and displays exhibits relating to wine-growing and wine cellars. Its focus is therefore specifically on wine-growing and cellars; at the same time, it complements the historic buildings with a look at objects from this field. Another part of the town’s story focuses on Gottfried Preyer. The composer and founder of the children’s hospital in Vienna named after him was from Hausbrunn near Mistelbach. His memorial is located by Hausbrunn Town Hall. A themed museum and the commemoration of a person thus offer two different perspectives.

Parish Church of St. Vitus

The Parish Church of St. Vitus in Hausbrunn is a Baroque church built in 1718. On 15 June of the same year, the parish church of Hausbrunn was dedicated to Saint Vitus (Veit). The west wing and entrance façade were added in the 19th century. The dates mark two phases of construction: the church’s construction in 1718 and the later addition of two clearly identified features. This allows you to consider the church not only in terms of its Baroque style, but also through the architectural changes it underwent over time. For the history of the town, this represents a sequence spanning from the early 18th century to the 19th century.

Another historic building

The listed primary school building in Hausbrunn is associated with the year 1885. The parish church offers its own historical reference points: 1718 for its construction and dedication, and the 19th century for the addition of the west wing and entrance façade. If you are interested in local architectural history, you can consider two different types of buildings and their respective dates.

Routes through Hausbrunn

The routes also add a sense of place to the town’s history. EV13 Stage 9 runs from Valtice to Mannersdorf and passes through Hausbrunn. The Kamp-Thaya-March Route runs from Altlichtenwarth via Hausbrunn to Hohenau an der March. Valtice and Mannersdorf are the endpoints of the EV13 stage; on the Kamp-Thaya-March Route, Hausbrunn lies between Altlichtenwarth and Hohenau an der March. This sequence of places helps distinguish the routes and understand their respective courses. For your planning, this provides a specific point of difference: what matters is which of the named starting points and destinations suits your route.
