Square in the heart of Moststrasse
St. Pölten (OTS) –

South of the Danube, the Moststrasse winds through the river for around 200 kilometers

Lower Austrian Mostviertel. This region is the largest closed pear tree area in Europe. Vierkanthöfe dominate the landscape along Moststrasse. These large, enclosed farmsteads combine all the necessary spaces under one roof. Many of them were built in the 19th century, when the economic boom was also boosted by the construction of the Empress Elisabeth Western Railway. This “Austrian Experience” from the ORF regional studio for Lower Austria (design and camera: Thomas Zeller) shows life and work in different square courtyards on Moststrasse as well as the architectural features and design changes of these monuments over the course of generations.

The architecture of the squares ranges from simple wooden structures to magnificent brick buildings. The architect Elisabeth Rücklinger explains that the square buildings are typically two-story and have a continuous ridge. An example of the diversity of the squares is the Kirchweger family farm, which has been in the family for seven generations and whose striking, historic facade is being carefully restored. A special feature of the interior of the square is the house core with the front building, kitchen and living room. The upper floor is often home to the “Hohe Stube”, a state room that was only used on special occasions and housed valuable items.

In Seitenstetten Abbey we go to the monastic Maierhof, also known as the “Square God”

known. The imposing building from the 18th century originally served agricultural purposes. Today cultural events take place here. The surrounding gardens with herb garden and rosary labyrinth are a popular excursion destination.

The grain harvest characterizes the summer months along Moststrasse. Various types of organic grain are processed in the Rosenfellner mill, which has been family-owned since 1932. Monika Rosenfellner experiments with types of flour and offers bread baking courses. In Wolfsbach, a square farm owned by the Wimmer family has developed into a popular wine tavern – with meat, pastries and bread from its own production. The Wimmers are particularly proud of their must made from sun-ripened apples and pears. The careful processing has evolved over the last decades and is now reminiscent of wine production.

Many square farms have lost their agricultural use. The brothers’ farm

Grafleitner in Weistrach became a modern residential building with twelve residential units

rebuilt. One side of the traditional facade was retained to preserve the historic

to preserve character. The documentary from the ORF Lower Austria regional studio shows that Moststrasse invites you to visit at any time of the year to experience the impressive cultural landscape and the historic squares.
