## Commentary

The Hansenburg castle belongs to the typical follies found in English gardens. It corresponds to the traditional canon of landscape architecture. Ruined castles were built at several of the Liechtenstein estates in Lower Austria and Moravia. The four-winged complex of the Hansenburg with its massive round towers was the largest of these. Its interior housed a great Knights&#39; Hall and a collection of weapons.
