The Orangerie and Schönbrunn Palace

The Orangerie is part of the Schönbrunn Palace, which was used as the imperial summer residence. Franz I Stephan commissioned the Orangerie from Nicola Pcassi in 1754. The Orangerie was used not only as winter quarters for citrus tree and other potted plants, but was also a winter garden for imperial court festivities. Many celebrations have taken place in this elegant and lush environment. In the winter of 1786, Mozart was once invited for a celebration and conducted his Singspiel "The Impresario".

Today the Orangerie is one of the two largest Baroque orangeries in the world. Part of the structure is still used in its original function, while the renovated front section is now home to the Schönbrunn Palace Concert and of many other events.
