Discover Unterstinkenbrunn

Unterstinkenbrunn offers travellers several distinct points of interest: the historic cellar village of Loamgrui, the parish church, a sulphur-smelling spring and paths through the local landscape. This allows the history of architecture and winegrowing to be combined with time outdoors. If you are looking for a hotel in Unterstinkenbrunn, you can choose your focus based on whether you want Loamgrui, the views and walking paths, or the outdoor swimming pool to shape your stay.

Loamgrui: a cellar lane with a distinctive layout

The cellar village of Loamgrui dates from the heyday of winegrowing in the region, before the phylloxera outbreak at the beginning of the 20th century. Its own lanes, sunken roads and numerous small houses, arranged like an archetypal village, surround a central square. Every actual house in Unterstinkenbrunn has a small miniature counterpart in Loamgrui. These miniatures create a vivid connection between the village streetscape and the cellar lane: Loamgrui can be explored through its winegrowing history, settlement layout and small models.

Wine is also part of the visitor experience: visitors can explore the cellar lane and enjoy wines produced there. However, the cellars themselves are open only during events or guided tours. If you are interested in visiting open cellars, check in advance whether an event or guided tour is being offered and when.

Sunken lanes, hiking trails and views

Two sunken lanes connect Loamgrui directly with Unterstinkenbrunn. The sunken lanes leading from Loamgrui are protected as natural monuments; this brings together a direct link between the cellar village and the town with a protected landscape feature. Hiking trails are also available in Unterstinkenbrunn.

From the Blauen Kreuz viewpoint, the view stretches across the Laa Basin plain all the way to the distant parts of the Czech Republic. This is a different landscape experience from that of the protected sunken lanes: here, the expansive view shapes the panorama, while there, the distinctive course of the path stands out. Travellers planning their trip around their interests can therefore find both a nature and landscape theme and the distinctive layout of Loamgrui.

Parish church and castle history

The Roman Catholic parish church of Saints Peter and Paul stands on a small rise beside the main road and is visible from far away. It was built in 1861–1863 in the Neo-Gothic style. Its location makes it an easily recognised landmark in the village streetscape; its date of construction and style also provide a specific point of reference for the history of the church building.

Unterstinkenbrunn Castle adds another historical perspective. Around 1630, it was remodelled and extended as a hunting lodge and estate; the castle is privately owned. For the church, the focus is on its Neo-Gothic construction date and prominent location; for the castle, it is on its former function and remodelling around 1630. The village thus offers different historical points of reference that cannot be reduced to the same period or building purpose.

Spring and outdoor swimming pool

A mineral-rich, iron-bearing spring rises in the centre of the village. It smells of sulphur and explains the name Unterstinkenbrunn. Its central location and distinctive properties make it a notable part of the local natural history.

The Unterstinkenbrunn outdoor swimming pool complements the cultural and landscape attractions with sports and leisure facilities. It has two solar-heated pools, including a sports pool and a children's pool, as well as a water slide and a beach volleyball court. This also makes it possible to plan a trip around a visit to the swimming pool. Check the latest opening information before your visit.
