A huge, steel and concrete building stands in the middle of the Augarten. It was constructed during World War II and served as a concrete air-raid shelter as Vienna did not have enough of them. At this time, many people tried to defend the city by firing rifles from its roof at the aircraft overhead. This building is constructed in a way as to make it virtually indestructible, like the other flak-towers to be seen in Vienna. Today, one of them is used as an aquarium, Haus des Meeres. The Augarten is a nice park and in summer there is an open-air cinema. It is also the home of a porcelain manufacturer.
