During this work, he met his future wife, <strong>Countess Marietheres Wickenburg<\/strong>, who was serving as a refugee coordinator at one of his estates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left ctlb-block-desc\" style=\"font-size:16px\">The couple faced a burned-out ruin of the castle, whose restoration seemed impossible without external help. However, with the support of the Federal Monuments Office and the Burgenland state government, the reconstruction of the castle was realized. Paul Waldbott succeeded in restoring the agriculture, forestry, and viticulture of the estate, earning him great recognition and respect. In the restored castle, exhibitions have since been held with great success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cp-timeline-content-timeline-child swiper-slide ctlb-alignment-center\"><div class=\"timeline-content icon-image \"><div class=\"timeline-block-timeline ctl-row  position-right\"><div class=\"ctl-6 timeline-block-time\"><div class=\"story-time\"><p>2008<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-block-icon\"><div class=\"ctlb-icon-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Krone.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ctl-6 timeline-block-detail\"><div class=\"story-details\"><div class=\"story-content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large ctlb-block-image\"><span class=\"image-container wp-image-7987\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?resize=640%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C696&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?resize=300%2C204&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?resize=768%2C522&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?w=1353&amp;ssl=1 1353w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/schlosshalbturn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/16-2.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/span><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ctlb-block-title\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left ctlb-block-desc\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Baron Paul Waldbott-Bassenheim dies in Halbturn.
