It is a decorative architecture structure built in 1775 to a design by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a temple of fame, a monument to the just war that led to peace. It is the main eye-catcher in the garden.
The Glorieta later served as the dining and banquet hall and breakfast room of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The dining hall was used until the end of the monarchy; today it houses a café. There is a viewing platform on the roof with a view of Vienna.
