Schmetterlinghaus, Butterfly house in Burggarten, Vienna, Austria
The glass pavilion contains more than 400 butterflies from 40 species, flying freely among waterfalls, tropical plants, and wooden bridges.
The current Art Nouveau structure, designed as part of the Hofburg palace complex, replaced the original 1820s glasshouse by Ludwig Remy.
The facility connects nature education with Habsburg imperial heritage through its location between the National Library and the Albertina Museum.
The temperature inside remains between 26 and 35 degrees Celsius with 80 percent humidity, requiring visitors to store coats in the lobby.
Visitors can watch butterflies emerge from chrysalises in dedicated pupal chambers while Atlas Moths display their substantial wingspans.
