The Orangerie Belvedere is part of the impressive baroque complex of Belvedere Palace, located just outside the Old Town of Weimar. This refined structure was built in the 18th century as a greenhouse for exotic plants and citrus fruits, typical of the noble residences of that time. Today, the Orangerie is a place of great attraction, where architecture, art, and botany come together in an elegant space full of greenery.
The building houses an exquisite collection of porcelain and decorative arts from the treasures of the Weimar Art Collections. The exhibited works include German and French porcelain from the 18th century, furniture, silver, and glassware that tell the story of the lifestyle of the Saxon-Weimar court. The exhibition rooms, bright and refined, harmoniously blend into the original structure of the Orangerie.
The surrounding park, designed in the baroque style and later transformed into an English landscape garden, offers romantic views, decorative pavilions, fountains, and panoramic vistas, ideal for a leisurely stroll. Visiting the Orangerie is therefore a comprehensive experience that combines artistic discoveries with natural beauty.
Easily accessible from the center of Weimar by bike or public transportation, the Orangerie Belvedere is a perfect stop for art, history, and lovers of historical gardens.
