Laxenburg

The market town of Laxenburg in the district of Mödling is located around 20 kilometers from Vienna on the Schwechat river. The former summer imperial residence in the southern Vienna Woods has a lively history behind it. Today it is famous for having one of the largest preserved park and palace complexes in Austria. Whether strolling in imperial footsteps, shady walks, boat trips to Franzensburg Castle or romantic picnics: Laxenburg is a particularly beautiful destination for young and old. Cyclists will also find an extensive network of cycle paths here.

Laxenburg: time out on imperial paths
Empress Maria Theresa in particular loved the magnificent palace complex. Her children and other Habsburgs also used the palace as a summer residence. Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sisi even spent their honeymoon in Laxenburg. Two of their children were born here. Today, Laxenburg Palace Park, the Old Palace and Franzensburg Castle - built on an island - stand out as important monuments to historical garden art.
