    Until the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Laxenburg was an essential place of residence for the Habsburgs. This tradition began with Emperor Charles VI. Maria Theresa also built a long, continuous avenue from Schönbrunn, namely on the route of today's Schönbrunner Allee to Laxenburg. The Laxenburg Railway, which no longer exists today, was also built especially for the imperial court between the southern railway in Mödling and Laxenburg.

      The Old Castle is the oldest of the three Laxenburg Imperial Castles and already existed around 1300.

        The Schlosspark Laxenburg is one of the most important historical landscape gardens in Europe. Since the Middle Ages, this extensive park has been expanded to its present size of 280 hectares. In addition to picturesquely staged landscapes, valuable woods and unique staffage buildings enrich this overall work of art. In addition to the Old Palace and the Blue Court there are a variety of pleasure buildings, mystical grottos, temples or even the medieval-looking tournament place to discover.
