Dorotin altán, Empire-style gazebo in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

The wooden octagonal gazebo stands on a granite outcrop, featuring eight Ionic columns supporting a circular copper-covered dome above the Teplá River.

Count Christian Clam-Gallas commissioned the construction of this gazebo in 1791 as a dedication to Duchess Dorothea of Courland.

The granite rock beneath the structure displays a commemorative inscription from 1791, marking the dedication to Duchess Dorothea of Courland.

Visitors can reach the gazebo by walking 1.1 kilometers from the spa center or taking bus numbers 2 or 7 to the Richmond stop.

A ceramic vase with a snake motif, symbolizing eternity, once stood on a stone altar inside the gazebo with inscriptions in Greek.
