Here you will find information about the Orangery.

The Orangery in the Great Garden was built between 1700 and 1723 by court architect Johann Christian Böhm as a half-timbered structure. In 1823, the façade was redesigned in the Neoclassical style by Georg Laves. The building’s primary function was to provide winter quarters for plants sensitive to frost. Today, it serves as an event venue.

Information in English

Originally, the orangery served primarily as a winter home for frost-sensitive plants. The two rooms at either end and the hallway on the north side were used to heat the main hall. Today, the building is a popular venue for all kinds of events. First built as a half-timbered structure between 1700 and 1723 by court master builder Johann Christian Böhm, about a hundred years later, Georg Laves had the façade redesigned in the Classicist style.
