Until the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Laxenburg was an essential place of residence for the Habsburgs. This tradition began with Emperor Charles VI. Maria Theresa also built a long, continuous avenue from Schönbrunn, namely on the route of today's Schönbrunner Allee to Laxenburg. The Laxenburg Railway, which no longer exists today, was also built especially for the imperial court between the southern railway in Mödling and Laxenburg.

The old castle is an important motif in the park today. Since the 13th century it originally formed the heart of an extensive hunting area. Surrounded by a moat, the old castle was equipped with numerous outbuildings.
