Under Maria Theresia, the park experienced a significant redesign of today's landscape garden. It is particularly noteworthy that Laxenburg became a cultural center in the 17th century that could come up with theater performances and operas. Today the park is a listed building, and its baroque elements as well as the diverse watercourses and a 25 hectare castle pond make it a unique destination for visitors from all over the world. schloss-laxenburg.at provides further information on the history of this important system.
