  • Veltliner Keller was established in 1325 as a wine cellar and as a restaurant in 1551.
  • The main entrance of this building is arched and contains a curved staircase, that leads to the main door of the restaurant. The entrance niche protects the visitors from the weather and its balustrade is decorated with red geranium.
  • The entrance platform becomes that place, where the guests are being welcomed and where people meet and say goodbye to each other.
