    The Laxenburg Palace Park with its huge park landscape, the Old Palace, the Blue Courtyard and the romantic Franzensburg is considered one of the most important monuments of historical garden art from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a history stretching back well into the 13th century. Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, called "Sisi", once spent their honeymoon here, Crown Prince Rudolf saw the light of day in Laxenburg. From 1306 to 1918 the summer hunting and private residence of the imperial Habsburg family, the palace park is today an extremely popular destination on the outskirts of Vienna.

      The Laxenburg Palace Park covers an area of approx. 280 hectares. There are countless natural and architectural monuments in the castle park. These include the approx. 25 hectare castle pond, which is connected to numerous watercourses. In the middle of the castle pond sits the Franzensburg, which can be reached via a stone bridge or by ferry during the season. Many unique and interesting buildings, monuments and bridges allow you to experience and enjoy history as well as garden art - from the Green Pleasure House to the Concordia Temple to the Forstmeisterkanal with the large cascade (waterfall) at the eastern end or the tournament area, the knight's column and all that knight's grave and the Haus der Laune, which has been extensively revitalized in recent months.

        The castle park is accessible all year round. Peak season is annually from April 1st to November 1st. There are three entrances to the castle park, with the main park entrance (P1) and the recreation center park entrance (P3) being open daily, and the Reitstalltor park entrance (P2) only being open on weekends and public holidays. A total of around 1,000 parking spaces are available to our guests free of charge at these three entrances; there are marked disabled parking spaces at the main park entrance. All three park entrances are barrier-free.

        The opening times are adapted to the seasons and can currently be seen on the homepage schloss-laxenburg.at - as are the admission prices. The castle park is closed at night for security reasons.

          June 13, 2022 - #17 - Emperor Joseph II has now had large parts of the current extent of the palace park redesigned as a landscape garden. The Waderlgarten was transformed into the so-called “small landscape garden” behind the Blue Court and the park south of the Forstmeister Canal was also generously expanded as a landscape park.

                  The Laxenburg Castle Park is a listed building

                  But the landscape garden is also a man-made garden artistic design and is intended to attract admiration from its viewer. Just like the geometric garden, it needs ongoing care in order to be able to continually inspire in the spirit of its artistic idea.

                  The park maintenance department should be mentioned in this context. The Laxenburg Castle Park is one of the 56 gardens in Austria that are under monument protection due to their garden artistic ideas. The aim of the park maintenance organization is to secure the park's existence and to carefully bring it closer to its original design idea from around 1850.

                    The Laxenburg Palace Park is the largest and one of the most important landscape gardens in Austria. It occupies a high position in the history of European garden art.
