Gloriette, a photo from Vienna, Est

Photographer's Note

The garden axis points towards a 60-metre-high hill (200 ft), which since 1775 has been crowned by the Gloriette structure (Fischer von Erlach had initially planned to erect the main palace on the top of this hill).

Maria Theresa decided Gloriette should be designed to glorify Habsburg power and the Just War (a war that would be carried out of "necessity" and lead to peace), and thereby ordered to recycle "otherwise useless stone" which was left from the almost-demolition of Schloss Neugebäude. The same material was also to be used for the Roman ruin.

The Gloriette was destroyed in the Second World War, but had already been restored by 1947, and was restored again in 1995.

The Gloriette today houses a café and an observation deck, which provides panoramic views of the city.

Hello Daniel,
Beautiful view over the palace gardens towards the top of the hill and the Gloriette. The cloudy background is beautiful and also adds a pleasant, filtered sunlight, which creates a fine and tranquil mood.

Hi Daniel,

The length of the garden is giving depth to the composition. The point of vie3w is showing the details of the garden and of the Gloriette. The good luminosity is making the colours to stand out. Have a nice day.

The place looking lavishly cared and has better colors in high-summer days, Daniel, and i say this because when we were there in springtime - there wee no flowers at all.
Fine view till far as the monument upon the hill, cloudy sky well balanced with the light on the overall picture.
Best regards,
Ike
