Original narrative:
- Vienna
from the Spinnerin Kreutz: This is a point much frequented during
the fine season by strangers and pleasure-parties. It stands close to
the road across the Wienerberg, and were the islands and windings of
the Danube included in the landscape, the picture would be one of
almost unrivalled beauty. It was erected about three hundred years ago,
as a votive monument by Crispinus Poe'llitzer, and adorned with statues
of saints. As a specimen of Gothic taste it is interesting to
strangers; but the fine carved work, with which the niches and
clustered pinnacles were originally ornamented, is much effaced by the
effects of the weather, to which, by its unsheltered station, it is
more particularly exposed. It is, however, on a small scale, one of the
finest artificial landmarks in the environs, while the hill on which it
stands has an additional hold on the popular mind, by means of an old
tradition.
