Germany - Ansbach, Orangery
The Ansbach Residence (Residenz Ansbach or Markgrafenschloß) was the government seat of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. The palace (PiP 3) has its own court garden with an orangery, although it has always been separated from the palace by other buildings and nowadays by a busy road.
A garden was first mentioned in the 16th century. The construction of the orangery started in 1726 under Margravine Christiane Charlotte. The garden was designed as a baroque garden. Severely damaged during World War II, it was reconstructed after the war, including an herb garden with many medicinal plants and a house to keep potted plants in winter.
In the garden one can find some statues and commemorative plaques. Today the orangery - the architectonic heart of the garden - is a café/restaurant and also used as a venue for concerts and conferences.
