The Castle Lehenhof in Scheibbs served as Villa Almasy as the summer residence of the writer-married couple. From 1885 he lived in Gries near Bozen (South Tyrol).
Von Wickenburg wrote poems and song texts and was particularly prominent as a translator of foreign-language dramas. Wickenburg was the grandfather of Erik Graf von Wickenburg , pseudonym: Robert von den Steinen, who was also a writer. The Wickenburggasse in Graz was named after his father, Konstantin Graf von Wickenburg.
