Oranienbaum Palace
Schloss Oranienbaum
A Dutch Baroque palace and town planned as a whole, with a well-preserved English-Chinese style garden and orangery.
Oranienbaum Palace was built in the late 17th century by Princess Henriette Catharina, a member of the Dutch House of Orange. The palace, town, and garden were planned as one unit, making it a rare example of Dutch Baroque design in Germany. Inside the palace are a leather wallpaper hall and Dutch tile decorations. In the garden, the Chinese Tower, tea house, and small bridges are among the best-preserved English-Chinese style gardens in Europe. The orangery is about 175 meters long. It is about 5 kilometers from Wörlitz and is a good place to combine with a bike ride.
