Ground-breaking ceremony

The ground-breaking ceremony on 02.09.2007 marked the official start of construction for the Seewinkel Thermal Resort. In the years that followed, a leading project for quality and year-round tourism was created here that also meets international standards and is unparalleled. Accordingly, the groundbreaking ceremony was also attended by prominent guests. In addition to Governor Hans Niessl, Deputy Governor Franz Steindl, Frauenkirchen's mayor Josef Ziniel and the mayors of the 12 other Seewinkel communities (Andau, Apetlon, Gols, Halbturn, Illmitz, Mönchhof, Neusiedl am See, Pamhagen, Podersdorf am See, St. Andrä am Zicksee, Tadten, Wallern), WiBAG Board Directors Peter Schmitl and Franz Kast and VAMED Managing Director Ing.

Directly on the border of the Natura 2000 nature reserve lies the area of the former Pimetzlacken, which were used as gravel ponds. In the concept phase, it was decided to combine the gravel ponds into two large lakes and to place an organic structure in the form of a spiral in the centre of the lake landscape. The centre of the spiral is formed by the spa with the main lounging areas, pools, sauna area, etc. The spa and lodge merge into the lake landscape. The spa and lodge merge into one another in the spiral form. The 4-star superior lodge includes 150 room units with restaurants, bars, seminar area, etc. The water of the lake was drawn into the building in the abstract form of the outdoor pool landscape of the lodge spa and sauna area. The peninsula in front of the spa with small gravel bays and the terraced landscape in front of the lodge lobby and the restaurants invite visitors to linger by the water. The atmosphere of the area lives above all from the direct relationship to the water and the expanse of the landscape.
