Another palace situated inside Sanssouci Park.
Built in the Italian Renaissance style between 1851 and 1864, for King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (great grandnephew of Frederick the Great).
The massive, long wings flanking the central palace were built with floor-to-ceiling windows to shelter the park's fragile, exotic Mediterranean plants and citrus trees during harsh German winters.
No one lived in the Orangery Palace permanently, including the king who built it.
King Friedrich Wilhelm IV suffered a series of strokes and passed away in 1861, three years before construction was fully completed in 1864. He did not even live to see a furnished palace.
