Orangerie, Baroque orangery and park in Gotha, Germany

The Orangerie features two main buildings flanking an amphitheater-shaped garden with extensive paths, lakes, and decorative structures spread across 35 hectares.

Duke Friedrich III of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg commissioned architect Gottfried Heinrich Krohne to design this French-inspired orangery, which was constructed between 1747 and 1774.

The Orangerie Friends Association maintains the gardens and organizes regular events including art auctions, film screenings, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can access the Orangerie at Schlossplatz 1 in Gotha, with parking facilities available near Friedenstein Castle, the Ducal Museum, and the Marstall.

The garden contains the Merkur Temple, built between 1775 and 1777, and the Holy Island, which serves as the burial site of Duke Ernst II.
