Artstetten Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artstetten Castle (German: Schloss Artstetten or Schloß Artstetten) is a castle near the Wachau valley in Lower Austria.
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 Hellbrunn Coin
The castle is so popular and famous, that it was the main motive of one of the most famous collectors coins: the Austrian 10 euro The Castle of Artstetten Coin, minted in 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.
