Burgenland is Austria's youngest province having been transferred from Hungarian jurisdiction
in 1922. The province has a rich history starting with the Celts in the 4th Century BC and
later becoming part of the Roman province of¿Pannonia. Its mild climate and fertile land
predestine it for primary activities such as winemaking and tourism. Because it is sparsely
populated there is ample space for building development. The recent architectural history of
Burgenland is represented by vernacular homes in the villages and stately buildings in the
towns. 100 exemplary buildings tell of the story of Burgenland's architecture over the last
century. Seven essays cover topics such as Viennese modernism in Burgenland
