Built in 1775 under the reign of Empress Maria Theresia in the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace, it was ment to be a ‘temple of glory’ and probably also as view point. In 1780, it was equipped with glass windows for the first time and became a location for dinner and festivities. Emperor Franz Josef I. used it as breakfast room. What a start into the day!
One of the most beautiful cafes in Vienna, more information and photos in the link hidden in the title.

This is the one where you wrote the postcard, isn't it? It's a beautiful place..
I can't figure out what's more gorgeous - the palace or the pastries!
To Paula: Exactly! I wrote my postcards there and, later I said goodbye to Vienna from the terrace on the top!
To Jemima: Indeed, Vienna is a city of harmony and imperial luxury where everything is gorgeous! I was telling my sister only this morning that sometimes when I am in Vienna I can skip a meal because with so much beauty aroung I won't feel hungry!
If all is well, I hope to be a regular visitor there in July.
