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