Gloriette, Temple structure in Eisenstadt, Austria

The Gloriette is a temple structure in Eisenstadt situated on a hill above the palace, featuring four Ionic columns across its front. The main building measures 18 meters long and 9 meters wide, with two side wings creating a symmetrical composition.

Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy commissioned the French architect Charles de Moreau to build a garden house named Marientempel after the prince's wife; construction ran from 1804 to 1805. The name Gloriette took hold during the building work because of the elevated site. It was the first structure outside the palace park, linked to it by a sight axis, and first served as a hunting lodge.

The building displays Greek temple features mixed with Austrian architectural style, featuring relief works above three arched doors and symmetrical staircases on either side. Today it functions as a restaurant space, blending historical architecture with contemporary hospitality.

The Gloriette stands at the end of Glorietteallee, about 120 meters above Eisenstadt Palace and one kilometer away in a straight line. It is reached on foot via the uphill path. The restaurant inside has been called "Die Alm" since a change of tenant in 2016.

The building was the first structure built outside the palace park, yet it stayed linked to the palace by a sight axis. From the early 1950s to the 1960s it served as a youth hostel, and from 1979 it became a meeting place for Eisenstadt residents called "Die Alm". After a change of tenant in 2016, the restaurant took that name again.
