Burg Kreuzenstein

<< back

One of the most impressive castles of Austria rises on top of a hill just half an hour northwest of Vienna. However, in 1645 the gorgeous castle with all its spires, murals and pinnacles was completely destroyed by the Swedish army in the course of the 30 years’ war. At the end of the 19th century a millionaire decided to rebuilt the castle true to the original and with incredible attention to detail. The eccentric millionaire imported original components and intriguing exhibits from all over Europe. There are gothic balconies from Slovakia, roman sculptures depicting lions from Venice and medieval skewers complete with a propeller drive. At Kreuzenstein castle you can admire anything that links back to the good old times of knighthood.
