The castle administration, in agreement with the board of the monument office, submitted to me Professor Dr.Kühn the application, the well-known St. Georgsstatue, which used to be on the III. Burghof stood and is now situated in the castle garden near the Belvedere, for the purpose of its better securing against all-due air attacks to Lana.
