Croissants originated in what country?

Despite being a symbol of French cuisine, croissants were actually first created in Austria about four hundreds years before making it to France. Many historians believe the crescent-shaped treat goes back to age-old monastery bakeries, baked as part of pagan customs to celebrate Easter, with the pastry first mentioned in the 12th century.
