Once an archaic defensive structure from the Renaissance, the Kasematten Wiener Neustadt impresses with its harmonious, underground vaults and creates a world of its own for the Wortwiege Festival. A “radiant darkness”, as it was described in an architectural review in the Standard.
The heart of the Kasematten and entrance to the festival is the “Strada Coperta” – the vaulted street where the guns used to be driven up. Three huge, interconnected barrel vaults with a ceiling height of 8 meters form the stage for theater performances and Salons of the Wortwiege Festival.
“Back to the roots, forward to the future.”
Wortwiege
