Baden Bei Wien Sights

  1. Beethovenhaus

    In the town centre, one of the houses Beethoven stayed in has inevitably been turned into the Beethovenhaus with little to actually see; nearby, though, is the Dreifaltig-keitssäule, dating from 1714, dominating the Hauptplatz.

  2. Rollett Museum

    The Rollett Museum, southwest of the town centre, covers important aspects of the town's history. The most unusual exhibit is the collection of skulls, busts and death masks amassed by the founder of phrenology, Josef Gall (1752-1828), who sparked the craze of inferring criminal characteristics from the shape of one's cranium.

  3. Römertherme

    Römertherme offers the same health benefits albeit without the fun of the Thermalstrandbad.

  4. Thermalstrandbad

    Because of the sulphur content in its healing waters, Baden bei Wien has a distinctive 'poached egg' smell in parts of town. If you've got a finely tuned nose, the egg smell is very in your face at the main thermal pool, Thermalstrandbad. With its dubious brownish stretch of sand backed by a functionalist building from 1926, the pool complex is a sulphurous Hades-meets-Majorca.
