Vídeňské sedátko, Stone gazebo near Hotel Imperial, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.
Videnské sedátko is a circular stone structure set on a hilltop overlooking the Tepla River valley and surrounding forests. Its open-sided design offers shelter while allowing views of the landscape in all directions.
The structure was built in 1840 through donations from Viennese spa visitors seeking treatment in Karlovy Vary. Its construction shows the strong ties between the Bohemian spa town and Austrian nobility during that period.
The structure reflects classical building style and serves as a natural meeting point for visitors and residents exploring the spa town on foot. People pause here to rest and take in their surroundings.
The location sits along walking trails near Hotel Imperial and remains accessible year-round. From here you can explore paths in different directions or use the nearby funicular railway to move more quickly up or down.
The structure carries two names - Videnské sedátko in Czech and Wiener Sitz in German - preserving the bilingual history of the region. These names reflect the time when both languages were spoken side by side in daily life.
