Diving tower - Millstatt lido

The diving tower at the Millstatt lido, which was built in 1930 and is a listed building, became a major attraction in the bathing experience at Lake Millstatt due to its formal and technical design.

The combination of diving platform and water slide was an absolute novelty at the time. The "looseness and playfulness" of the construction seems to breathe southern joie de vivre and is a unique phenomenon in today's otherwise very technoid bathing facilities - not only in Austria, but probably throughout Europe.

Almost 90 years old, built under the most difficult economic conditions, a landmark of architecture and stamp motif, it characterizes the image on the lake.

After a 10-year break, the monument was reopened to the public following extensive renovation work and has become the attraction it once was. The diving tower exerts a magical attraction on children and young people in particular. Countless highly emotional experiences and memories of tourists and locals alike surround the diving tower. The recommissioning and grand opening on August 2, 2019 will bring these stories back to life and turn the diving tower into a cult object that creates identity and promotes regional ties in a special way.
