This is The 18th-century Chinese Pavilion in Cibulka Park, not from the dilapidated Cibulka chateau. It is a small octogon building from 1822, with an oriental design. Originally it had a rotatable iron-plate figure of a Chinese man with an umbrella on the roof which was replaced by a non-rotatable copy.
This Pavilion is in tough shape, looks to have been home to the homeless recently and it on the verge of falling down. Perhaps Prague has it in its sight to renovate it. Not sure. It must have been quite striking when it was first built.
