Der Herzogin Garten, Historical park near Zwinger, Dresden, Germany.

Der Herzogin Garten extends across a green space with reconstructed orangery buildings and modern residential areas in central Dresden.

The garden was established in 1591 for Sophie of Saxony and contained approximately 4300 plant species by 1806 under Augustus the Strong's reign.

The neo-renaissance orangery building, constructed in 1841 by architect Otto von Wolframsdorf, served as a winter shelter for temperature-sensitive ornamental trees.

The garden complex includes newly designed public green spaces that visitors can view from the nearby Zwinger palace complex.

After World War II destruction and decades of neglect, the site underwent reconstruction in the 2010s, incorporating both historical elements and new residential buildings.
