Palmenhaus, Art Nouveau greenhouse in Burggarten, Austria
The Palmenhaus extends 180 meters in length and 13 meters in width, featuring glass and steel construction with decorative elements throughout its structure.
Friedrich Ohmann designed this building between 1901 and 1905, replacing an earlier classical greenhouse that stood at the same location from 1823 to 1826.
From 1919 to 1938, the Palmenhaus functioned as the exhibition space for the Vienna Kunstgemeinschaft, supporting local artists and their creative endeavors.
The central area contains a restaurant open daily, while one wing houses a butterfly collection and another serves as a greenhouse for the Federal Gardens.
The building's rear wall incorporates a section of the original Vienna City Wall, connecting modern architecture with medieval fortification elements.
