Orangerie, Renaissance palace in New Garden, Potsdam, Germany.

The Orangery Palace stretches across 300 meters with a central building featuring twin towers and extensive glass windows for plant conservation.

Friedrich Wilhelm IV commissioned the construction of this palace between 1851 and 1864, incorporating designs from architects Stüler, Persius, and Hesse.

The Raphael Hall displays more than fifty 19th-century reproductions of Renaissance paintings, housed in a space modeled after the Vatican's Sala Regia.

The palace maintains its original function with operational heating systems in the western hall, protecting sensitive plants during cold seasons.

The Paradise Garden contains specialized sections with systematically arranged exotic plants maintained by the University of Potsdam's Botanical department.
