AB  - During the time of Johann I Joseph, Prince of Liechtenstein, the surrounding landscape was cultivated, small voluptuary structures were erected, and Romantic style reconstructions of medieval castles were initiated both at Hadersfeld in Lower Austria and on the purchased domains Liechtenstein-Sparbach. The reconstructions were carried out based on the design of the Liechtenstein architect and construction director Joseph Hardtmuth and his followers: Joseph (Georg) Kornhäusel, (Joseph) Franz Engel and Joseph Leistler. A natural landscape park with an adjacent game reserve was created in Hadersfeld which included an ancient-style temple and an Egypt-style obelisk. Additionally, the manor house was rebuilt in order to correspond to the builder's period taste, as well as the adjacent Greifenstein Castle. The situation in Sparbach was similar: another ancient-style Diana's Temple was erected, the palace and the medieval Johannstein Castle were reconstructed, and further voluptuary structures were built. Furthermore, Liechtenstein Stronghold and Mödling Castle were renovated; the same scheme was chosen to build further ancient-style structures (e.g. the amphitheatre and Hussar's Temple) as well as artificial ruins of Gothic-style buildings (e.g. John's Chapel) and obelisks.
