71st IUVSTA Workshop<br />
Workshop Venue<br />
The workshop will be held at Hernstein Castle, nowadays one of the most magnificent<br />
seminar hotels in Austria. This is a historic chateau once owned by the Habsburg family<br />
(Archduke Leopold Ludwig). Located in an idyllic park with a small lake it is just 50 km<br />
from Vienna city centre. Hernstein Castle is situated at the fringe of the Viennese Basin,<br />
in the stepped footland of the Styrian and Lower Austrian limestone alps. Its history<br />
goes back to medieval times: once the castle safeguarded the street to Berndorf Village<br />
and the valley before it. In former times the building comprised a housing unit and a<br />
chapel and could be seen from far away. It would have been very difficult to expand the<br />
building, therefore a new castle - the core of todays castle - was built in the valley at<br />
the foot of the mountain where the old castle had been built.<br />
After the Turkish wars this new building was expanded and in the 18th century it<br />
got a uniform facade. For a long time the castle was owned by the Habsburgs and was<br />
used as domicile by archduke Leopold Ludwig. The renowned architect Theophil Hansen<br />
designed the castle - and thats how you will find it today.<br />
Nowadays the Castle houses a luxurious seminar hotel with excellent meeting facilities,<br />
and modern hotel rooms with shower, toilet, TV etc. According to the motto “mens<br />
sana in corpore sano“ the hotel also offers a lot of physical activities and helps our guests<br />
to relax such as an indoor swimming pool, sauna, etc.<br />
