A rather large part of the city, Schallmoos is considered a diverse district. It stretches from the Neustadt area along the Kapuzinerberg to neighborhoods with an almost suburban feel. Schallmoos, however, is generally considered rather unpleasant with many immigrants and major traffic lines. Three major streets and the railway pass the area. However, things have improved significantly in recent years. There have always been rather good residential areas in Schallmoos. The best preserved manor is the Baroque chateaux Robinighof, built in 1648. It is one of the few sightseeing attractions of Schallmoos. The other preserved manor is the Rauchenbichlerhof; many others were later altered or demolished. Schallmoos does have its nice sides. Some of the large commercial areas were developed into shopping malls or office buildings in recent years. This helped to improve the overall appearance of the district. Note also the Baron-Schwarz-Park, which is a remaining patch of land once belonging to a villa. The villa was destroyed in WWII (due to the vicinity to the station). The area near the Kapuzinerberg has become a big place for near-the-center shopping malls. For cultural delights, note the Rockhouse Schallmoos and the Urbankeller.
