Gloriet, Garden pavilion in Sedlec, Czech Republic.

Gloriet is a cylindrical hunting pavilion of historicising Romantic design, later adapted in Neo-Gothic style, standing on a stone base above the Oslava river valley near Sedlec. Its rectangular entrance has a recessed arch, and five viewing openings face the doorway. The interior, once fitted with oak parquet and a round table with chairs, is now empty.

The structure was built in 1830, a period when decorative garden buildings became important features of landscape design and social life. This era marked the rise of small pavilions as favored spots for gatherings in private garden settings.

The pavilion serves as a gathering spot where people can enjoy views and spend time outdoors in a garden setting. It reflects the tradition of adding small architectural features to landscapes that encourage visitors to linger and observe the surroundings.

Gloriet stands above the Oslava river valley in the Třebíč district of the Vysočina Region, not in South Moravia. The cylindrical pavilion is entered through a rectangular doorway, with five viewing openings on the opposite side. It has no interior furnishings today, so there is nothing to shelter in; the walk up Vlčí kopec is on foot only.

The pavilion was built in 1830 for Jindřich Vilém III Haugwitz, owner of the Vlčí kopec estate and its small chateau. Inside, oak parquet flooring and a round table with chairs were planned; today the gloriet stands empty.
