The Small Gloriette
Situated in the middle of the woods on Schönbrunn Hill near the Maria Theresa Gate lies the Small Gloriette, a tower-like two storeyed pavilion which was built around 1775, probably to designs by Isidor Canevale. The octogonal structure with its balconies and built-on stairwell was probably used as a viewing pavilion. The interior is decorated with Rococo architectural murals which on the second floor open up above a balustrade into a painted sky.
