Built in 1897 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I, it has become a symbol of the city’s history and charm. Over the years, the Ferris wheel has seen many remarkable moments. One of the most famous was when Madame Solange d'Atalide rode a horse on top of a cabin as it completed a full rotation!
