Schloß und Schloßgarten Laxenburg
Laxenburg
About
Situated in the middle of wonderful parkland some 17km south of Vienna, Schloss Laxenburg is a prime example of 18th century garden artistry. Full of wonderful canals, bridges and monuments, the garden is one of Austria's finest pieces of landscaping. The architectural highlight is the stunning 14th century castle which stands in the center of the grounds. The castle was a favourite residence of the Habsburgs, which explains why you will find an imperial railway station here. Schloss Laxenburg is now a popular destination with day-trippers.
