History
The Orangery was built on the initiative of Princess Izabella Lubomirska in the years 1799-1802 based on a design by Christian Piotr Aigner, while Frederick Bauman made the stuccowork.
It is a two-storey building with an attic, covered by a gable roof with a western elevation decorated by a four-column Ionic portico. The Orangery is connected with the Castle by an arcaded passage from the east. According to inventories from the 19th century, in the past, there were rooms on the upper floor and dressing rooms on the east side, and a conservatory room on the ground floor.
In the 19th century, the building was connected by a passage with a fig house situated in the moat.
The Orangery was a magnificent all-year-round heated winter garden where people could relax and enjoy a quiet moment.
Thanks to the talents of the castle’s gardeners, it was also a place where visitors could be received and entertained.
