Orangerie Schwetzingen, Baroque Orangerie in Schwetzingen, Germany
The Orangerie spans 171 meters in length with large south-facing windows, featuring symmetrical architecture and spacious halls for plant cultivation.
Construction began in 1718 under Elector Karl Philipp, with the initial structure completed by 1722 and later modifications commissioned by Karl Theodor in 1761.
The building housed over 2,000 citrus trees, date palms, and coffee plants, representing the electoral court's garden cultivation practices of the 18th century.
The building serves as winter protection for sensitive plants until April, with its large windows allowing maximum sunlight exposure for vegetation preservation.
The left wing contains a lapidarium displaying original garden statues, while the central area presents exhibitions about the history of the orangery.
