The construction of the former imperial court parish church in Laxenburg was initiated and promoted by Emperor Leopold I. The old church had become too small. On June 11, 1693, the emperor personally laid the foundation stone for the new church, which was built on parts of the old walls. The result is an exemplary, magnificent baroque church with a central room and a central bell tower above the portal. It stands directly opposite the "Blue Courtyard" of the imperial Laxenburg Palace.

06/13/2022 - #01 - The old parish church in Grätzel was probably built in the 14th century. The patronage of the Exaltation of the Cross goes back to this time. After it was destroyed by the Turks, it was rebuilt from 1693 to 1699 using Gothic components.
