Meaning & History

From the word for a pavilion or similar architectural structure in a garden which perhaps meant "little glory" from French (see Gloria). The largest and most well-known example is probably the Schönbrunner Gloriette, in the Schönbrunn Palace Garden at Vienna, built in 1775 for Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa.
