Orangerie Schönbrunn, Greenhouse building in Schönbrunn Palace, Austria

The Orangerie measures 189 meters in length and 10 meters in width, featuring large round-arched bays separated by stone pilasters on its south facade.

Built in 1754 by architect Nikolaus Pacassi, this structure served as a winter shelter for Mediterranean plants and citrus trees during the Habsburg Empire.

The venue hosted a musical competition between Mozart and Salieri in 1786, establishing its position in Vienna's classical music heritage.

The east section functions as an event space for classical concerts while the west wing maintains its original purpose of housing exotic plants.

The building contains an original 18th-century underground heating system that still maintains appropriate temperatures for Mediterranean plants through hypocaust technology.
