It is a beautiful observation tower in the well-kept “Türkenschanzpark” that was opened in 1888. Unfortunately, it is not always open to the public.

The 23 meter high Paulinenwarte lookout tower in the middle of the Türkenschanzpark is a brick building. In the past it also served as a water reservoir.
Since August 2010, the tower has been open to the public after extensive renovation work and is opened on certain weekends by Naturfreunde Währing. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of Vienna and the Vienna Woods.
The tower is optically and structurally adapted to the style of the surrounding villas in the cottages district.
The tower is named after Princess Pauline Metternich, who had donated many exotic plants to the Türkenschanzpark.
