If you walk in the Laxenburg Castle Park from the ferry at the Franzensburg in an easterly direction, always along the bank of the castle pond, you will logically come to the end of the water at some point. Opposite a narrow channel you can see a densely wooded island and a little further ahead you can see the weir that regulates the water level in the pond. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be anything special here.

And yet... Even in the summer months, when the dense foliage of the numerous trees and shrubs on the island almost obscures the view, there is something striking there. Through gaps in the forest of leaves one can see, if only dimly, the dilapidated masonry of a large building. They are the sparse remains of a once stately building: the Mariana Temple.

However, you cannot visit the ruins. The ruins are on an island, the Mariana Island, and cannot be reached from the 'mainland', at least in summer.
