Schloss Artstetten in Lower Austria, near the Wachau in the Melk district, is the former residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his final resting place. The site is inextricably linked to the assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 – an event that triggered the start of the First World War. Today, Schloss Artstetten houses the Archduke Franz Ferdinand Museum, the family crypt, the historic private castle park, the castle shop, and the castle café.

A visit to the Treasury is also recommended! The Treasury is not just a room where treasures, votive offerings, vestments, and liturgical garments are kept. Rather, it is a vault of faith. Behind every piece is a personal story, a thank you, or a request.

A great Danube crossing for cyclists, the left-bank ascent/descent is very elaborate. Perfect for all types of bicycles to get onto the bridge.

Rüdiger von Bechelaren – an information board tells his story. Right next to it is the drinking water dispenser.
