Orangerie

The Orangerie is a garden building in Neustrelitz with nineteen axes and a mansard roof containing three grand halls. These halls are decorated in red, blue, and yellow, reflecting the traditions of the Mecklenburg state.

The building was created in 1753 as a winter garden for exotic plants and underwent major redesign between 1840 and 1842 under architect Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel. This transformation period shaped much of its present appearance.

The interior displays replicas of classical sculptures and ceiling paintings in Pompeian style, created by artist Bernhard Wilhelm Rosendahl. These decorations reflect the tastes of the era and create an elegant setting for those who visit.

After comprehensive renovation completed in March 2024, the building now hosts concerts, readings, and private events in its restored rooms. Visitors should check ahead to see what events are scheduled during their visit.

A marble children's fountain designed by Albert Wolff in 1844 originally came from Park Sanssouci and now stands in the garden. This relocated artwork connects two important sites of German cultural history.
