Burg
Built in the 13th century and later enlarged, this is the home of the Theresian Military Academy, established in 1752 and the first military academy in Europe. During World War II it was a German military academy, with Rommel as commandant. The building sustained heavy damage during the war and was subsequently rebuilt; today it is used once more as the Austrian officers' academy.

Rathaus
This building has served as the city hall since 1401. The current appearance dates from the Baroque period.
Dom von Wiener Neustadt / Liebfrauendom
A late-Romanesque cathedral, with foundations dating to 1279. Much of the original interior was unfortunately destroyed during remodeling in the Baroque period, and the original Gothic stained glass windows are now found in museums as far afield as Glasgow and New York. In the 19th century the 64-m-high twin towers were rebuilt after several earthquakes rendered them unstable, and since then the cathedral has been restored to its original Romanesque-Gothic form.
Stadtmuseum Wiener Neustadt
Housed in a former Dominican monastery, this museum has historic artifacts relating to the history of the city and wider region, and hosts regular special exhibitions.
literally 'Torture Tower'
This tower dates to the early 13th century, and is attached to one of the last remaining pieces of the city fortification, which was mostly demolished in the 19th century. In its early history the tower served as a jail and torture chamber, and now houses a small museum with old weapons and torture implements.
