The Archduchy of Austria (Latin: Archiducatus Austriae; German: Erzherzogtum Österreich) was a principality in Europe and a member of the Holy Roman Empire and the main area of the Habsburg monarchy. It was dissolved as a imperial state and replaced with the Upper and Lower Austria crown lands of the Habsburg monarchy after the Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, until it came back after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867.
