Burg Kreuzenstein

Burg Kreuzenstein is a castle near Leobendorf in Lower Austria, rebuilt in the late 19th century by Count Johann Nepomuk Wilczek on the ruins of a medieval fortress. The reconstruction incorporated surviving medieval masonry and transported historic architectural elements, and the completed castle reopened in 1906; it now functions as a museum and tourist site.

As it stood in 1906

The shape it held in its prime.

A composite medieval-style fortress of pale buff stone with multiple steep red-tiled roofs and an irregular skyline: a tall rectangular keep, a large cylindrical round tower with a conical roof and projecting wooden gallery, crenellated curtain walls, and pointed Gothic chapel façade with a large tracery window and pinnacled spire. A stone arched bridge leads to a fortified gatehouse set into the curtain wall; the castle stands on a wooded rise above the Danube plain.
