The Franzensburg is regarded as the culmination of the artistic garden design of the so-called "Rittergau" in the Laxenburg Palace Park. It bears witness to the idea of romantic historicism and is considered "Austria's little treasure trove". By Emperor Franz II./I. erected and opened in 1801, historically valuable components were put together to form a neo-Gothic work of art. More than twenty showrooms were created inside the Franzensburg, decorated with the most valuable inventory of all eras. The rooms still contain valuable art objects such as inlaid cabinets, leather wallpaper and coffered ceilings from the Renaissance era. Emperor Franz I, who also gave the castle its name, designed an ideal knight's castle according to his personal ideas. However, the Franzensburg was never inhabited, since its opening it has served as a museum and a reflection of times long past. Today the museum is open to everyone and invites you to an exciting excursion into the fantasy world of the Habsburg dynasty.

In 1930 extensive renovations took place. From 1934 to 1938 the former High and German Master Archduke Eugen lived here. Immediately after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, the order was expropriated. In 1945 the order got its castle back, but the commander was moved to Vienna. After the retirement home run by German nuns was closed in 1988, the castle stood empty for 12 years and was neglected. In 1999 it was extensively restored. Since then it has served as the convent house of the Teutonic Order, Province of Austria. It is also the seat of the Austrian military bishop. Some of the rooms are available as a guest house for holding seminars.
