Baroque garden culture is manifested not only in palace gardens, but also in orangeries and kitchen gardens.<\/p>\n
Orangeries served not only for overwintering outdoor plants. They also had a courtly function, as one could stroll here in winter as if in a gallery. Therefore, an orangery was also built in Kirchheimbolanden in 1778. Previously, a gardener’s residence with side greenhouses already existed on its site. However, the 1778 project was much larger in scale, with a total length of almost 70 m. <\/p>\n
The extensive kitchen garden area of the “Herrengarten” (Gentlemen’s Garden) in front of the orangery’s south facade in the 18th century has become a service and residential area as part of the inner-city development since the 1980s. To the east, the civic “Kappesg\u00e4rten” (Kappes=white cabbage) adjoined it. A relic of this earlier garden history is still a Rococo pavilion (“Gartenh\u00e4uschen” – garden house) on Gartenstra\u00dfe. <\/p>\n
The Orangery, now structurally connected to the modern functional building of the “Stadthalle” (City Hall) erected between 2011-13, is today a venue for cultural events, such as art exhibitions. In addition, the municipal culture and event office is located here. <\/p>\n
The golden lion \u2013 the Nassau heraldic animal \u2013 in front of the Orangery is a gift from the city of Weilburg.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/visit-kirchheimbolanden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sw-41-orangerie-a.jpg” title_text=”Sw-41-Orangerie-A” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/visit-kirchheimbolanden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sw-41-orangerie-1.jpg” title_text=”Sw-41-Orangerie-1″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/visit-kirchheimbolanden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sw-41-orangerie-b.jpg” title_text=”Sw-41-Orangerie-B” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
