Laxenburg castles, Habsburg imperial palaces in Laxenburg, Austria.
The Laxenburg castle complex includes the Old Castle, Blue Court Palace, and Franzensburg Castle spread across extensive English-style gardens with artificial ponds.
Duke Albert III established the first hunting lodge in 1333, which later expanded into multiple residences through various Habsburg rulers until the 20th century.
The castle grounds contain the parish church built between 1693 and 1703, marking the first structure north of the Alps with High Baroque facade elements.
The castles currently house the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and serve as venues for conferences, concerts, and museum exhibitions.
Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, son of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, was born in the Blue Court Palace on August 21, 1858.
