Schönbrunn Orangery

As far back as the time of the dowager empress Wilhelmine Amalie (mid 1750’s) an orangery garden was established at Schönbrunn which included a hothouse for overwintering the tender citrus trees.
One hundred and eighty-nine metres long and ten metres wide, the Schönbrunn Orangery is one of the two largest Baroque orangeries in the world, the other being at Versailles.
The Orangery was also used for glittering court festivities. Joseph II was especially fond of arranging banquets in the plant-filled Orangery. It is now the turn of the Drucker Society to hold the Drucker Forum Gala Dinner in this unique venue!
