Palmenhaus Schönbrunn, Victorian greenhouse in Schönbrunn Palace Gardens, Vienna, Austria
The iron and glass structure of Palmenhaus Schönbrunn extends 111 meters in length, rises 25 meters high, and contains 45,000 glass tiles for natural light.
Emperor Franz Joseph I inaugurated this greenhouse on July 19, 1882, following its construction by architect Franz Segenschmid using 600 tons of wrought iron.
The greenhouse maintains 4,500 plant species from worldwide regions, including a 350-year-old olive tree received as a diplomatic gift from Spain in 1974.
The building contains separate climate-controlled areas at its northern and southern ends to accommodate plants requiring different temperature conditions throughout the year.
A rare Wollemia pine grows inside the greenhouse, representing one of few specimens cultivated outside its native habitat in Australia.
