Artstetten Castle
Artstetten Castle (German: Schloss Artstetten) is a castle near the Wachau valley in Lower Austria, in the community of Artstetten-Pöbring.
Used as a summer seat by the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg dynasty, the castle houses the resting place of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, as well as the Archduke Franz Ferdinand Museum. It remains today the private property of the Hohenberg Family.
[edit] The Castle of Artstetten Coin
The castle was recently selected as a main motif for a high value euro collectors' coin: the Austrian 10 euro The Castle of Artstetten commemorative coin, minted on October 13, 2004. The coin’s obverse shows the castle of Artstetten standing above the Danube River on the threshold to the region of Wachau.
