Schloss Lustbühel and the Hallerschloss give Waltendorf its castles, and the Roseggerwarte stands in the same ninth district of Graz.
About Waltendorf
Where to stay in Waltendorf
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Waltendorf trades on quiet. The Berliner Ring high-rises stand at one end of the district beside the Ragnitz brook, while the streets below Schloss Lustbühel and the Hallerschloss keep to houses and gardens. Rooms follow the second pattern.
Visitors who want the Roseggerwarte, the Tegetthoffdenkmal or an evening at the Attention Badmintoncenter can stay out here, but the pull of central Graz keeps most beds in the districts closer in.
About Waltendorf
What are the main landmarks in Waltendorf?
Waltendorf keeps two castles. Schloss Lustbühel and the Hallerschloss are both small, and the Rupertikirche at Hohenrain adds a parish church to a district that otherwise runs to houses and the towers of the Berliner Ring. Monuments fill out the list.
The Tegetthoffdenkmal and the Persönlichkeitsdenkmal Ivo Andric stand among the streets, the Ursulinenkloster Graz holds a religious house, and the Roseggerwarte and the Attention Badmintoncenter cover the two ends of a day out here.
What is the history of Waltendorf?
Castles and a convent set the older record. Schloss Lustbühel and the Hallerschloss are the two castles of the district, the Ursulinenkloster Graz holds a religious foundation, and the Rupertikirche serves the parish at Hohenrain. The building did not stop there.
Towers went up beside the Ragnitz brook, and the Berliner Ring became one of the largest groups of high blocks in Graz, its roofs carrying one of the biggest solar water heating systems in the city. Ries, St. Peter and neighbouring St. Leonhard meet it at the district lines, and the church of St. Paul stands within.
Where is Waltendorf?
Waltendorf spreads across the ninth district of Graz, from the Ragnitz brook and the Berliner Ring towers to the ground under Schloss Lustbühel.
