The story

Story · Franzensburg

You're standing in the castle park of Laxenburg, and in front of you is the Franzensburg. It looks like a medieval knights' castle, with towers and battlements. But don't be fooled. This castle is much younger than it looks. It's a romantic reproduction in the Neo-Gothic style, a dream of what a medieval castle should be.
