    Below the Château, the Orangery, by its size, its height, the purity of its lines, is one of the masterpieces of the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart. If the interior of the building is not accessible for free visit, its characteristic parterre of the "French garden", can be admired.

        From the square behind the castle you have a beautiful view of the park in front of the orangery.

        One of the largest orangeries in Europe can be seen in the Park of Versailles. Your middle gallery alone is 155 meters long. The orangery is not yet a completely independent building, as in Kassel or Potsdam, for example, but rather it closes off the south wing of the palace by supporting its ground floor. But the dimensions of the Versailles orangery, which housed hundreds of orange trees during the winter, make their position in the symbolic language of the Baroque very clear. The palace, park and garden of Versailles became models for many royal courts in Europe.
