Orangery

An orangery is a historical building or garden feature designed as a sheltered space for cultivating and displaying citrus trees and other delicate plants, especially during colder months. Typically constructed with large windows, a glass or metal roof, and sturdy brick or stone walls, orangeries combine the functions of a greenhouse and a conservatory. They became popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries among the wealthy, serving both as a practical space for plant care and a stylish area for leisure. Today, orangeries are often used as elegant extensions to homes, blending natural light with functional outdoor-inspired interiors.
