The Black Cross in Draßburg is a prominent monument on a height above the cemetery, erected in 1898 by Mathilde and Conrad Patzenhofer, the then owners of the Draßburg Castle and the sugar factory in Siegendorf. It commemorates the assassination of Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) and bears a trilingual inscription in German, Croatian, and Hungarian. The location offers an impressive view over the Wulka Valley all the way to Lake Neusiedl and is freely accessible year-round. Additionally, the surrounding area is part of a renaturation project in the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park aimed at restoring damaged ecosystems.
The Black Cross is freely accessible year-round and can be visited at any time!
