Temple de la Gloire

Built in sandstone, the Temple de la Gloire features a triangular pediment, glass windows, and four Ionic columns supporting a roof terrace on its western facade.

The Temple de la Gloire was constructed in 1801 by architect Pierre-Alexandre Vignon for Jeanne Perrin to commemorate General Moreau's victory at the Battle of Hohenlinden.

The interior design combines Empire-style furniture with wooden panels in the ceremonial salon, reflecting the early 19th-century French aristocratic preferences.

The building contains a cubic living room on the first floor, with boudoirs and bathrooms, while the ground floor includes a dining room, kitchen, and service area.

Located at the eastern end of the former Orsay Castle canal, the temple served as a meeting point where General Moreau arrived by gondola to the garden theater.
