Lusthaus, Heritage building in Prater Park, Leopoldstadt, Austria.

The Lusthaus stands at the southeastern end of Prater Avenue, featuring decorative elements from the Baroque period and harmonious architectural proportions.

Initially constructed as a hunting lodge in 1538 under the name Casa Verde, the structure underwent substantial renovations between 1781 and 1783 after Prater opened to public.

The building evolved from an imperial hunting lodge into a social gathering space where Vienna's nobility and middle class participated in celebrations and events.

The restored structure currently functions as a restaurant and coffeehouse, accessible through public transportation routes connecting to Leopoldstadt district.

The Lusthaus maintained its position near the Danube Canal until 1834, when the waterway relocation changed the surrounding landscape permanently.
