Today's orangery was built by Gottfried von Gedeler in 1704-06 and used as a bitter orange house until 1755. In 1818 this building also became the property of the university. The outside baroque facade shows the rococo influence and sandstone sculptures by Elias Räntz. In the middle wing there is a water room with significant stucco furnishings.
