Cultural bridges over the March

Closed

In the Culture Across project — cultural bridges across the March — the Municipality of Marchegg (LB) and the Museum of the City of Bratislava (PP1) work together to preserve their cultural heritage and to increase the awareness of the local population on both sides of the border for these cultural monuments. This strengthens the tourist attractiveness of the entire border region in the heart of Central Europe (Marchfeld-Záhorie- Bratislava). The following three key points are implemented in Culture Across: The restoration and renovation of historic buildings and outdoor facilities in the immediate vicinity of the Marchegg Castle and Devín Castle (in the AP5-7 work packages) aim to increase the attractiveness of the sites in need of renovation. Thus, they become a modern, barrier-free excursion destination of the 21st century for cultural professionals and those interested in culture on both sides of the border with a wide range of uses such as cross-border events. In the castle area of Marchegg, a unique baroque castle ensemble, the annexes are renovated, the areas on the forecourt of the area with the main entrance and the medieval Viennese gate, as well as the castle park including the garden walls and sculptures are revitalised. Furthermore, the historic castle bridge into the Au, which lies directly behind the castle and plays an important role in the education of nature, is restored in a contemporary form. At Devín Castle, one of the most important archaeological sites in Central Europe with a history of almost 7,000 years, the existing buildings are renovated and the entire castle area in the underground is extensively explored. The roofing of the archaeological findings of the early Christian chapel, which is of great importance in cultural history, is being refurbished.
