Archduke Sigismund of Austria (Sigismund Leopold Maria Rainer Ambrosius Valentin) (Milan, 7 January 1826 – Vienna, 15 December 1891), was an Archduke of Austria.

Life

He was the third son of Archduke Rainer Joseph of Austria, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia and Princess Elisabeth of Savoy.

Palmhouse in the Gmünd Castle garden

In Imperial-Austrian military services, Sigismund reached the rank of Fieldmarshal-Lieutenant and was owner of the Infantry Regiment No. 45.

He participated at the head of a brigade in the Battles of Santa Lucia, Pastrengo and Novara[1] (1848-1849).

In 1859 Sigismund came into the possession of Gmünd Castle. As a passionate botanist and dendrologist, he had an orchid and palm house as well as a spacious landscape park constructed.[2]

Sigismund died unmarried and childless in Vienna and was buried in his own mausoleum in the Gmünd cemetery. In 1852 was made a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece by Emperor Franz Joseph.[3]
