Franzensburg Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

In 1811, according to the plans of "mechanic" Franz Besetzny, the first ferry was put into operation, which was to become a true institution of the palace complex. Even today, the ferry is on duty during the season and transports park visitors to the "small treasure house Austria" - the Franzensburg.

Today's ferry was built in 1964 and, of course, contrary to the first ferry, is fully electronically controlled. Nothing has changed in the basic technology, the two driving ropes and the pull rope, even after more than 200 years. And Franzensburg would simply be inconceivable today without this attraction.

May 7th, 2020 - A special feature of the bridge are the different statues that can be seen in the middle of both sides. The architecture is very successful. If you are here, you should also stop by this bridge.

Laxenburg Castle Park

Highlight • Historical Site

The Laxenburg Palace Park with its huge park landscape, the Old Palace, the Blue Courtyard and the romantic Franzensburg is considered one of the most important monuments of historical garden art from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a history stretching back well into the 13th century. Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, called "Sisi", once spent their honeymoon here, Crown Prince Rudolf saw the light of day in Laxenburg. From 1306 to 1918 the summer hunting and private residence of the imperial Habsburg family, the palace park is today an extremely popular destination on the outskirts of Vienna.
