Orangerie

The Orangerie is a concert hall in Bessungen, Darmstadt, built in baroque style and hosting performances of all kinds. The main building contains a spacious performance room as well as several smaller spaces suited for different types of gatherings.

Louis Remy de la Fosse designed this baroque building in 1719 as a work that reflected the architectural style of that era. The structure has endured through the centuries while retaining its original form.

The name references its original purpose as a greenhouse for citrus plants, though today it functions primarily as a performance space. Visitors experience the baroque refinement that the building maintains in its rooms and overall design.

The location is well-positioned and convenient to reach, with services like catering available on site for visitors. It helps to check the schedule beforehand to plan your visit around performances or events that interest you.

The building was originally an orangery where citrus fruits were cultivated before it was converted into a performance venue. This dual history - from growing plants to hosting art - gives the place a distinctive character.
