Described as a "garden room", the Rotunda was designed by Brown and built between 1754 and 1757.
The door and windows are pedimented and inside is a coffered ceiling and stuccowork by Francesco Vassalli in 1761.
The joinery was by John Hobcroft.
The Portland-stone panels above the windows and door are Robert Adam's design and were carved by Sefferin Alker and added in 1763.
The Rotunda is located in the shrubbery, 350 metres (1,150 ft) east of the mansion, and overlooks the parkland, with views to the Park Seat to the south.
It is Grade 1 listed.
It was purchased by the Croome Heritage Trust in 2007, at the same time as the main house, and restoration was under way in 2009, funded by a Natural England grant.
Some of the cedar trees that shelter it were planted at the same time it was built.
The exterior has been restored in 2010 by the National Trust.
