The Pit

The Pit is a land art project by Peter Noever in Breitenbrunn which has existed since the early 1970s and in 2019 was placed under monument protection by the Austrian Federal Office BDA. "The Pit" is located at a site of a 200+ year old, sandstone-built wine cellar. It contains an open air double toilet that has been described as the "Most elegant outdoor toilet of all time" by a critic of architecture. The work also contains 36 cubes made from concrete with Vistus trees grow in the open centers of the cubes.
