This one’s for Castle lovers.
Burg Kreuzenstein, outside Korneuburg, Austria is bristling with storybook turrets and towers. It ‘s a 19th-century architectural fantasy built to conjure up “the last of the knights”—Emperor Maximilian I. Occupying the site of a previously destroyed fort, the enormous structure was built by Count Nepomuk Wilczek between 1879 and 1908.
Using Gothic and Romanesque elements, it has a towering Burgtor, “kennel” corridor arcades, impressive courtyard, with its half-timbered facade and Baltic loggia. Around that are structures holding armaments, banquet hall, library, stained-glass chapel, vassal kitchens, and the Narwalzahn, a room devoted to hunting trophies.
