Travelog post for: Louis the Rat

Yesterday we´ve been to the "Schloß Artstetten" (Castle Artstetten). It´s near to my home town and we drove there, before we went on to Klosterneuburg.









And here I´m with a model of the castle.



The castle was the home of the last "emperor" of Austria - Franz Ferdinand. He should became the emperor of Austria after the dead of his uncle Franz Josef. But Franz Ferdinand was killed in Sarajevo, which was the reason for the first world war.
Now the castle´s a museum about Franz Ferdinand and the Habsburger (the austrian royal family).

Here you can see Franz Ferdinand and his wife.



This´s a photo of the last emperor of Austria - Franz Josef.



Franz Ferdinand and his wifes graves´re also in the crypt under the castle.





Here you can see me in front of an old map - look how big Austria was once!
