Its location marks the meeting of pedestrian retail street Kohlmarkt and automobile lanes of Herrengasse, Schauflergasse and Reitschulgasse. Upon deeper investigation, for centuries this circle has played a role in trade and transportation in Vienna. In the center of this roundabout, ruins from Roman times were uncovered in 1990, originating from the era when the square was part of a legionary camp, a crossroads of trading routes and setting for local businesses. Today it's the hub for notable sites such Michaelerkirche (St. Michael's Church), the Hofburg Palace complex, Looshaus (an early 20th century modernist building designed by Alfred Loos), and Palais Herberstein, one of many local palace buildings in the area. You can see lots of horse drawn carriages nearby, as it's a central tourist thoroughfare nowadays. Worth walking thru and admiring if you're in the neighborhood!

These are: - Josefsbrunnen (Joseph's Fountain) - Wiener Pestsäule (Vienna Column of Pest) - Leopoldsbrunnen (Leopoldo's Fountain) The first and third stand on either side (to the east and west) of the second one, all designed in the Baroque style, and are respectively dedicated to St. Joseph, and Saint Leopold III. These two fountains were initially constructed in the late 17th century though the original bronze sculptures in 1803-04 were replaced with lead ones and remain so to this day. The composition of each fountains--a figure of Joseph leaning towards a boy holding a scroll showing his genealogy, with reliefs around the fountain depicting Joseph's flight into Egypt and dream with an angel;--a figure of Leopold holding a flag, dressed in armor and a crown, with relief panels showing discovery of Margravine's veil* and laying of the foundation stone for Klosterneuburg Abbey. The Column of Pest, or Plague Column, came about from the Plague which afflicted Vienna in 1679. King Leopold vowed to raise a pillar--a commemorative shrine of sorts symbolizing the mercy of God on Vienna--if the epidemic would end. In 1683, Leopold commissioned Matthias Rauchmiller to design this but he died in 1686, leaving his basic plans and three of his angel figures that are incorporated on the monument. New designs followed with several different designers and project managers, finally concluding with theatre engineer Lodovico Burnacini's idea of a Trinity being overhead a cloud pyramid with angel sculptures and kneeling emperor Leopold praying to a sculpture of faith. The sculpture was completed in 1694 and surprisingly looked pretty cohesive given the amount of change it had gone through. *according to Google: " "Margravine's Veil" is a legend associated with Stift Klosterneuburg, a monastery near Vienna. According to the tale, the veil of Margravine Agnes was blown by a gust of wind from the Leopoldsberg hill and landed on the site where the monastery was later built. This legend highlights the site's historical importance and is a key part of the monastery's identity."

We didn't eat there, and we didn't go on the roof (closed), but the views from the ground are just as stunning. It is a hike from the palace, but well worth it in my opinion. You pass by beautiful gardens, a lovely fountain, manicured lawns and a reflecting pool to get there and when you turn around? All of Schonbrunn and a good portion of Vienna lay before you. I highly recommend you take a tour and then finish with this lovely view...you will not regret it. 54/2025

You will get a beautiful view of the entire property from this location. It costs 5.50 euro for adults to access the overlook. There are a lot of steps to get there. I lost count as I walked the winding narrow staircase trying to catch my breath. lol! There are only some benches when you get to the top. Honestly it is over priced because it only provides a view of the palace and garden which is beautiful but should cost less. Don't go if you're afraid of heights.
