Laxenburg, Market town in Mödling district, Austria
The municipality of Laxenburg sits 20 kilometers south of Vienna, featuring multiple palaces within an expansive English-style garden with artificial ponds.
The Habsburg dynasty acquired Laxenburg in 1333, transforming a hunting lodge into their summer residence through multiple architectural extensions over centuries.
The Blauer Hof Palace contains notable Rococo interiors designed during Empress Maria Theresa's reign and served as a birthplace for several Habsburg family members.
The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis operates from Schloss Laxenburg, hosting scientific conferences and research activities throughout the year.
The artificial island in the castle park holds Franzensburg Castle, constructed after 1780 and named in honor of Emperor Franz I of Austria.
