Franzensburg Schloss, Laxenburg Park. This location is very interesting, large, and diverse. Many locals come to the park with families to relax or ride a bike. The park is beautiful and large. One-time entrance tocket to the park costs 3.5 euros, and this ticket is valid for 30 days. You can buy a ticket for several visits or for a year. Tickets for dogs are also required. All tickets are accessible online
There is a lake in the park where boats can be rented. Prices are affordable, about 24 euros per hour. A trip on a boat with an electric motor will appeal to everyone, especially children.
There is a very beautiful Franzensburg castle on the island. Excursions to the castle arranged every hour. Excursions to the tower and roofs of the castle are held twice a day, at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The ticket costs 11 euros for an adult and 7 euros for child over 3 years old .

There are no any signs, no any leaflets in other languages, or even in German that could be translated using Google Translate.

And it is very strange and very sad! It gives a very bad impression
In general, interesting! There is...

Franzensburg Castle near Vienna is an absolute hidden gem! 🌟 For just 4€ you can enter the beautiful gardens, and once inside you’ll find free toilets and drinking water (tap water is perfectly fine, but you can also buy bottled water from the restaurant if you prefer).

You can enjoy the lake, rent a boat for a different perspective, or simply bring a picnic and spend the afternoon surrounded by nature.
I especially recommend visiting in the evening around sunset — the atmosphere is magical! Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this place is perfect for a calm escape and a...

This is a tiny commune with a large imperial park in English style Schlosspark, and a doll-like romantic castle on the shore of the lake. No one has ever lived in this castle. It was built for Emperor Franz I, Napoleon's father-in-law. Emperor Franz visited there to drink coffee with distinguished guests, enjoy the surrounding beauty and show off a little. Therefore, the castle is decorated in the style of “modest splendor.” The rooms are small, the ceilings are not palace-like, but everything is very elegant and very expensive. The park around is magical. I highly...
