The Monopteros is a small Greek-style temple that was built in 1836.
It's located a bit north of the Chinese Tower, built on top of a (artificial?) hill.
Looks nice and cannot be missed.

Monopteros gives you a nice view of the greens of the garden, and the adjoining areas of the city. Easy walk to the top because of the gradual slope of the pathway.

We decided to walk in the garden after our dinner at the Chinese Tower to watch the sunset but it was clear we were not the only ones. The Monopteros was filled with other young people enjoying the last part of the day from this hilltop monument. We got some great pictures here and you can see all of the steeples above the trees. Great visit for sunset.

Situated in the southern side of the English Gardens is the Monopteros, a circular colonnade built on top of a small hill with nice views of the surrounding area. The design of the colonnade is very much in a Greek style with it ten Ionic columns supporting the roof, plus a slightly anachronistic colour scheme of polychrome stone painting adorn the ceilings.

This is a nice spot to visit when you are in the English Gardens as you get lovely views from up there and the children really enjoyed the climb and running up and down the grass hill. Would recommend if in the area.

The views here are fantastic and well worth the climb up the hill in the Englischer Garten. Enjoy your time here!

One of the interesting things to see at the English Garden is the Monopteros, a Greek style pavilion. In short, this is a small, circular and roofed structure supported by columns. This is the work of German architect Leo Von Klenze in 1837 and a neat landmark to look out for during visits to the garden.
You will be able to find Monopteros quite easily from within the massive garden grounds. It is situated on a small hilltop, making it visible from some distance. If you do walk up to the Monopteros, you'll find a a nicely maintained structure as well as a nice lookout point for viewing much of the English Garden.

The Monopteros is a round Ancient Greek style temple which stands on a small man-made hill in the English Garden, once you arrive at this point you have views back to Munich city. The temple is not large but is spectacular enough to view up close with its columns and pretty painted ceiling. The temple commands most of the hill with most visitors sitting on the steps of the temple.

situated in the English garden the views over the city is great (on a clear day) a short walk up hill to the structure but there is no climbing as it is a pagoda style structure with pillars and a roof.
not sure why it was built as there wasn't any info about it
