Die Hanselburg+

The Hanselburg is an artificial ruin in a forest area in Loosdorf, Lower Austria (municipality of Fallbach) in the Weinviertel.

On the remains of an old motte-and-bailey castle, Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein had the romantic artificial ruin built in 1800 as a hunting lodge and snack station. On his name day, the building was inaugurated as the Hanselburg.

The Loosdorf Hanselburg has a much larger counterpart in South Moravia, the Hansenburg not far from Eisgrub Castle.
