Orangery Garden Schönbrunn

Located on the eastern side of Schönbrunn Palace, the historic Orangery Garden is a serene escape where nature and imperial elegance meet. Built in the mid-18th century, this long Baroque garden originally sheltered the Habsburgs’ prized citrus trees during the colder months and remains a graceful symbol of royal gardening tradition today.
