## Commentary

The Gloriette was built between 1772 and 1775 and is the first classical building in Austria. It is a triumphal arch on the highest castle hill, which serves as a viewpoint as well as an optical conclusion of the castle garden. It is thought of as a warrior monument, so it is draped with war trophies by Johann Baptist Hagenauer and Benedikt Hainrizi. The architecture of the Gloriette is taken from Baroque tradition.
