Militärakademie
Heading south from the Hauptplatz, the imposing Militärakademie soon comes into view. The four towers and walls of this former castle date from the 13th century, though it was completely rebuilt after WWII bombing. Since the mid-18th century it has housed a military academy (founded by Empress Maria Theresia) which at one time was commanded by the young Rommel from his pre-‘desert fox’ days. Visits are by appointment only, or register at the gate.
