Iron draws lines in air—Belvedere’s gates are wearable architecture.
Gate Designs
- Flourishes and symmetry shape the welcome.
Photographing Ironwork
- Backlight to reveal filigree; avoid front flash.
- Align verticals to prevent leaning gates.
- Focus on intersections where craft is densest.
Bottom Line
Pause at thresholds; they frame every arrival and departure.

I built this to help you enjoy the Belvedere gently—smarter timing, kinder routes, and context that lets Klimt and the gardens feel personal.
