Grand Orangery in Tsarskoye Selo, Federal cultural heritage site in Pushkin, Russia

The Grand Orangery stands as a classical architectural structure with symmetrical design elements, large windows, and dedicated spaces for housing subtropical plants.

Built around 1750 during the reign of Russian aristocracy, this orangery became a botanical center for the cultivation of citrus trees and exotic flora.

The structure represents the Russian nobility's interest in European horticultural practices and scientific advancement through its dedicated spaces for plant cultivation and study.

Visitors can access the orangery through guided tours that cover both the architectural features and the botanical specimens maintained within its temperature-controlled environment.

The building incorporates specialized sunlight exposure systems through its architectural design, enabling year-round cultivation of Mediterranean plants in Russia's northern climate.
