THE GLORIETTE, SCHONBRUNN 



above the marble figures stretches a fine expanse 

 of green on the hill which is surmounted by 

 " The Gloriette." This is a conspicuous object, 

 as it stands on the summit of a hill 777 feet 

 high. It is in the form of a marble colonnade, 

 built in the time of Maria Theresa (1775) by 

 Ferdinand Von Hohenberg. It stands on the 

 spot where the Emperor Joseph I wished to 

 build a palace. 



From the Gloriette one can get splendid 

 views of Vienna. In front of it is a sheet 

 of water, and behind another lake ; and beyond 

 this is the Fasan Garten (pheasant garden), but 

 this part is not open to the public.
