Burg Kreuzenstein, Medieval castle and museum in Leobendorf, Austria
Rising 234 meters above sea level, Burg Kreuzenstein incorporates Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements across its fortified stone walls and towers.
Originally built in the 12th century by the Counts of Formbach, the castle fell to Swedish forces in 1645 and underwent extensive reconstruction from 1874 to 1906.
The castle museum displays a collection of medieval artifacts, including weapons, armor, and furnishings gathered from various European historical buildings.
Guided tours operate from April through October, with the castle opening Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00 and Sundays until 17:00.
Count Johann Nepomuk Wilczek rebuilt the castle using authentic medieval components sourced from different European castles, creating a structure mixing old and new elements.
