Orangerie Wernigerode, Cultural heritage monument in Lustgarten, Wernigerode, Germany.
The Orangerie stands as a stone building constructed with local Rogenstein material, featuring large windows designed for housing subtropical plants during winter months.
Count Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode commissioned the construction of this structure in 1728 to protect orange trees and other subtropical plants from cold weather.
The building transformed from a plant shelter to a concert hall, summer residence, and later housed one of Central Germany's largest private libraries with 100,000 volumes.
The Orangerie now functions as a location of the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives, situated at coordinates 51.8347 latitude and 10.7956 longitude in Wernigerode.
Following World War II, the Soviet occupation forces seized the extensive library collection and transported it to the USSR as captured art.
