Laxenburg ist heute eines der vielen Naherholungsgebiete Wiens.
Neben einem weitläufig, im englischen Stil angelegten Landschaftspark, ist die Franzensburg ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel. Kaiser Franz Joseph I und Kaiserin Elisabeth, genannt Sisi, verbrachten viele Wochen in dieser idyllischen Umgebung. Auch zwei ihrer vier Kinder, wurden hier geboren.
Ursprünglich war Schloss Mayerling im Besitz des Stiftes Heiligenkreuz, ehe es von Thronfolger Rudolf, dem Sohn von Kaiser Franz Joseph und Kaiserin Elisabeth übernommen und zum Jagdschloss umgebaut wurde.
Vermutlich verübte er am 30. Januar 1889 hier zusammen mit Mary Vetsera Selbstmord. Daraufhin wurde an Stelle der Wohnräume eine Kirche errichtet und das Schloss in ein Kloster umgewandelt.
