Laxenburg Palace Blue Court

The entire Laxenburg area with more than 100 hectares of parks and buildings is well worth a trip/tour of its own.

Blue Court or New Castle, the Blue Court (or also called New Castle) was first mentioned in 1544 as Freihof. During the occupation period after the Second World War, the Blue Court was a command post of the Red Army. (Lower Austria was part of the Soviet occupation zone until 1955.) Today, neither the dining room wing nor the castle theater are open to the public; they are managed by the IIASA and used as a conference center.
