The Lusthaus is a very nice coffee house in a historic building. It is located in the green Prater and is easy to reach by car and by public transport - bus 77A, 79A.

After the Prater was opened to the public in 1766, the pleasure house was rebuilt between 1781 and 1783 according to plans by Isidore Canevale. It served several major festivities, such as the great imperial celebration on the first anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig, during which Napoleon was devastated.

When Emperor Maximilian II united the fiefdoms of several monasteries and communities in the area of today's Prater in 1560 to form a closed, imperial hunting ground, the "Green Lusthaus", a hunting lodge, was built. From 1781 to 1783, the Lusthaus was rebuilt by Isidore Canevale on behalf of Joseph II. On October 18, 1814, the monarchs and diplomats gathered in Vienna for the Congress wanted to celebrate the victory in a particularly festive manner. It was decided to hold an army festival in the Prater. The Lusthaus was chosen as the festival site. Since then, the Lusthaus has been a particularly popular upscale restaurant and has been the focus of many festivities.

The pleasure house in Vienna Prater was first mentioned in 1560. Today there is a cafe and a restaurant there.

It was first mentioned in 1560 as Casa verde, the “green pleasure house” in the Vienna Prater, the former imperial hunting area, and served as a hunting lodge. It was erected exactly where the main avenue, completed in 1538, met the water of Vienna. Since the Danube Canal was relocated in 1834, the pleasure house no longer stands on the water.

At the end of the Prater Hauptallee is the Lusthaus Wien, in the middle of the green. Right next to it is the entrance to the Freudenau horse racing track and the Vienna Golf Club.

It is an excellent coffee house far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Lusthaus (2nd, Prater), pavilion at the end of the 4.5 kilometer long main avenue, laid out in 1537/1538, which ran through the center of the imperial hunting grounds of the Prater.

The predecessor of the building that still exists today was the "Green Lusthaus", probably built around 1555 under Maximilian II, after the property of monasteries and communities had been purchased and combined to form an extensive imperial hunting ground. Unlike the current building, it was not located at the vanishing point of the main avenue, but a short distance away on the bank of the "Vienna Arm" (the forerunner of the Danube Canal). It served as a hunting lodge and starting point for imperial hunting parties until after the middle of the 18th century.
