Restoration of the orangery area in the Schwerin Castle Garden

The castle garden is a garden monument of historicism. While the edge of the bank, the paths and the planting towards Lake Schwerin are still generously landscaped, the design towards the castle is condensed with geometric ornamental garden forms and culminates in the orangery and terrace area in decorative flower beds, an abundance of potted plants and figurative decoration.

The orangery was in danger of collapse in 1994. The remains of the garden were removed, in order to be laid out again after the building reorganization after old documents.
The monument-preserving objective of 1996 planned again a horticultural use of the orangery. The first sections, such as the grotto and north ramp, were completed in 1999. In spring 2001 the orangery area was inaugurated. Some sculptures have so far been recast or restored and fountains have been repaired.
Of the total financial expenditure for the numerous works on the palace, the restoration of the garden took up only a small part, but for the public it is of great importance.
