In the middle of it all rises the Fortified Church of Weissenkirchen, which can be seen from almost every point in the area. The late medieval fortification was built around 1530 and is largely preserved. It forms a unified defensive structure with the Teisenhoferhof farm below. Part of the church's imposing defensive structure is the Teisenhoferhof, one of the most beautiful Renaissance farms in the Wachau. As a cultural center, the Teisenhoferhof is now the platform for festivals (including the Riesling Festival), the Wachau Festival and exhibitions by well-known artists.
The romantic wine-growing town of Weißenkirchen has retained its originality and is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Wachau World Heritage region. Many Cyclists and hikers stop here in the town.
Even today, a large part of the inhabitants make their living from wine-growing, which is reflected in the way the houses are built. Here you can enjoy a good glass of wine in one of the gardens. But be careful: it is best to check the Heurigen calendar to see when it is open. The Weißenkirchen area is believed to be the origin of the Wachau-typical Riesling grape.
Directly in front of the town there are beautiful Sandy beaches on the Danube, which are perfect for swimming in summer.
