Laxenburg castles
Laxenburg castles are an ensemble of imperial palaces and parkland outside Vienna used by the Habsburgs as a summer retreat. The complex includes the Blauer Hof (Neues Schloss), the older medieval castle (Old Laxenburg), the parish church, and the artificial-island Franzensburg within an English landscape garden; today the site functions for events and houses museum collections.

As it stood in 1858
The shape it held in its prime.
A pale-stucco three-storey palace block with a central pedimented avant-corps and large arched carriage entrance, regular rectangular mullioned windows, two small stone balconies with balustrades, and a low steep red-tile hipped roof pierced by small dormers and tall white chimneys. The palace faces broad lawns and an English landscape park with artificial ponds and an island containing a small romantic castle (Franzensburg). At prime the facades and roof were complete and the grounds laid out as parkland.
