Глориетта и статуя Персея на рассвете в парке Шёнбрунн, Вена

Gloriette and statue of Perseus with the Gorgon Medusa's head early in the morning in Schönbrunn Palace Garden. A gloriette (from the 12th century French gloire meaning "little room") is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The largest and probably best-known gloriette is in the Schönbrunn Palace garden in Vienna. Built in 1775 as the last building constructed in the garden according to the plans of Austrian imperial architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a "temple of renown" to serve as both a focal point and a lookout point for the garden, it was used as a dining hall and festival hall as well as a breakfast room for emperor Franz Joseph I. Глориетта и статуя Персея с головой Горгоны Медузы на рассвете в парке Шёнбрунн. Глориетта (от фр. gloriette — уменьшительное от слова слава) — небольшое садово-парковое сооружение, как правило, открытый павильон с колоннадой. Обычно венчала возвышенность или замыкала перспективу. Наиболее известная глориетта находится в парковом комплексе Шёнбруннского дворца.
