Gloriette, Neoclassical monument in Schönbrunn Gardens, Vienna, Austria.

The Gloriette spans 84 meters in length and features a central section with arcaded wings adorned with stone military trophies and decorative sculptures.

Johann Ferdinand von Hohenberg designed this monument in 1775 as a symbol of Habsburg power, incorporating architectural elements from the Neugebäude Renaissance palace.

The Latin inscription on the attic marks the construction period during the reign of Emperor Joseph II and Empress Maria Theresa.

Visitors can access the roof terrace observation deck through internal stairs and enjoy refreshments at the café located in the central pavilion.

The structure includes massive sculpted trophies made from antique Roman armor, completed by sculptor Johann Baptist Hagenauer and ornamental decorator Benedikt Henrici.
