The we'll known medieval castle n,

of its owner. Count Hans WiIczek. and its
contents have been made heirlooms. This
is news which should gladden. the hearts
Of all antiquarians, as 1t means that the
unexampled collections of ANTIQUE fl,rni-
ture. weapons and objects OF art Of the
middle ages will be kept together In their
present setting for all time
Kreutzenstein is no doubt the most COM
plete genuine specimen Of a medieval cas-
tie in existence. When the present owner
inherited it as young man 1t was a
ruin. but Count W1lczek has devoted a
large fortune to restoring the buildings
and furnishing them throughout down to
the minutest detail with furniture and
household articles of the middle ages
which he has spent a lifetime In collect
ing. The castle lies on a hill overlooking
the Danube within a drive OF Vienna.
and is one Of the first sights which ali
distinguished visitors to the capital. such
as in recent years King Edward. Emperor
william and ex-Preeident Roosevelt, have
been taken to see.
