Type Castle

Burg Kreuzenstein is a castle in Lower Austria, Austria. It was constructed in the 1800's by the Wilczek family. Kreuzenstein is interesting in that it was contructed out of sections of medieval structures purchased by the family from all over Europe to form an authentic-looking castle. Thus, the castle can be considered both a 'neo' and 'original' medieval structure. The castle is sometimes used as a location for films, most notably The Three Musketeers (1993).
