Kreuzenstein Castle was built between 1874 and 1906 on the
ruins of a medieval fortress. It was conceived as a family
mausoleum and venue for preserving and displaying the owner?s
collection of medieval art, but it can also be interpreted as the
idealized vision of a medieval castle from the perspective of the
19th century. This study clarifies to what extent our view of the
medieval castle is contingent on the faults, fractures and
?constructs? of modernity.
