The parish church of Sts. Nikolaus and Gallus anchors the town center of Neusiedl am See on the western shore of the Neusiedlersee, the shallow steppe lake on Austria’s Hungarian border. The dual dedication indicates a layered church history: St. Gallus was a 7th-century Irish missionary monk, St. Nikolaus the bishop of Myra. Neusiedl am See is accessible by train from Vienna in about 1 hour; the lake’s western shore cycle routes start here. Free entry.
