    Between 1796 & 1800 Baron Peter von Braun, a rich businessman & manager of Vienna's court theaters, transformed his estate at Schonau into an English-style landscape park. The most celebrated building was the Temple of Night, a domed rotunda accessible only through a meandering rockwork grotto.
