The Privy Garden and Garden Above the Cellar
Baroque horticultural art
The Privy Garden lies in front of the east facade of the palace and derives its German name from the apartments furnished for Crown Prince Rudolf in 1870. the design were probably drawn up by the horticultural architect Louis Gervias. the upper part of the Garden over the Cellar was reconstructed according to a historical model dating from 1745/50. A remarkable feature is the broderie parterre decorated with different -colored types of sand and miniature topiarized trees arranged in a horseshoe. Take a stroll under the shady pergola and enjoy a magnificent view of this unique Baroque ensemble from the modern viewing platform.
Imperial view of Vienna
The Gloriette is the crowing architectural feature of the palace gardens. Fischer von Erlach s design had already included belvedere, but not until 1775 that the early Classicist colonnaded Gloriette was built on the crest of the hill. External flights of steps lead up to a glazed central section which today houses the Cafe Gloriette. The flat roof serves as a viewing platform with an unrivalled panoramic view over the gardens, the palace and the city of Vienna.
