20. Döllersheim, Austria – A Village Erased for Hitler’s Army

Döllersheim, a picturesque Austrian village, was forcibly evacuated in the 1930s when Adolf Hitler ordered its conversion into a military training ground. The villagers were displaced, and the town was left to decay under the weight of time and war exercises. Today, Döllersheim is an eerie relic of World War II, with its abandoned church, town square, and homes standing as silent witnesses to history. Guided tours allow visitors to explore the remnants, offering a haunting yet fascinating glimpse into Austria’s wartime past. The site is one of the most historically significant ghost towns in Europe.
