Pfarrkirche Herz Mariä in Leopoldsdorf bei Wien
Besitzer war kein geringerer als der letzte Babenbergerherzog Friedrich der Streitbare II. Dieser schenkte das Gut Lenpoldsdorf bei Lachse (das heutige Laxenburg) dem berühmten Minnesänger Ritter Tannhäuser. Nach einiger Zeit hatte er alles verpfändet und mußte als fahrender Sänger in die Welt ziehen. Im Jahre 1293 ging das Schloß in den Besitz Ortulf von Leupolzdorf über. 
Im 15. Jahrhundert wurde Leopoldsdorf von Raubrittern besiedelt. Im 16. Jahrhundert hieß der neue Besitzer Ruprecht Creuzer. Er gehörte der bekannten krainischen Ritterfamilie an, die im 14. Jahrhundert nach Österreich eingewandert war. 1523 erwarb Marcus von Beckh das Schloß Leopoldsdorf. Er war Doktor der Rechte bei Erzherzog Ferdinand und Kammerprocurator in Niederösterreich. Bei der Türkenbelagerung von Wien 1529 war er oberster Proviantmeister. Er verbesserte und vergrößerte seine Besitzung in Leopoldsdorf. 
1600 wurde Leopoldsdorf an eine ungarische Familie verkauft. 1683 wurde Leopoldsdorf durch die zweite Türkenbelagerung von Wien verwüstet. Im 18. Jahrhundert besteht der Ort Leopoldsdorf aus dem Schloß, einer Mühle, einer Brauerei und einer Gastwirtschaft. Leopoldsdorf hatte eine eigene Landesgerichtsbarkeit. Im Schloß gab es auch ein Gefängnis. Der Landesgerichtsverwalter konnte auch Todesurteile verhängen. 

Viele Türme zierten die Wasserburg, die von einem doppelten Graben umgeben war. Das Hauptgebäude wurde später mehrmals umgeändert. Im 19. Jahrhundert war Erzherzog Karl, der Sieger in der Schlacht von Aspern, Besitzer des Schlosses, später unter anderem Georg Heinrich Ritter Mautner Markhof und Baron Emmerich Waechter.
