Sulz im Weinviertel

The municipality of Sulz im Weinviertel lies below the source of the Sulzbach stream at an average altitude of 200 m above sea level.

The oldest documentary reference dates back to 1125, when it was still called "Sulze", which means "swampy terrain".

The parish church in Niedersulz was built between 1623 and 1625. The current high altar dates back to 1869 and was dedicated to "John the Baptist". The altar was later fitted with an early Baroque cross from the 17th century.

In 2002, the interior of the parish church was renovated and the village square was redesigned.

The parish church in Obersulz dates back to 1671/72 and is a single-nave, six-bay, early Baroque wall pillar church with a mighty stick cap vault resting on Tuscan pilasters. The enormous interior is crowned by the high altar, which dates back to the construction period. The precious side altars are made of real marble. They date from the 18th century. The wonderful pulpit and the remarkable choir balustrade were created at the same time.

In 1802, Franz Ritter von Heintl bought the Nexing estate from the Sinzendorf (Ernstbrunn) estate, which had been deserted until 1800 and was then resettled with 21 inhabitants, where he farmed and grew grapes. The "Nexing Switzerland" he created was already used for recreational and educational purposes at the time. Nexing is the smallest cadastral municipality and currently has 73 inhabitants.

The market town of Sulz is made up of four cadastral communities, namely Obersulz, Niedersulz, Erdpreß and Nexing. On a total area of approx. 31.60 km², 1,188 inhabitants were counted in 2001.
