The Orangerie in Kassel, Germany, is an exquisite baroque palace situated in the Karlsaue Park, a sprawling and picturesque parkland. Constructed between 1703 and 1711 under the rule of Landgrave Charles I of Hesse-Kassel, the Orangerie originally served as a winter garden for citrus plants and a summer residence. The building boasts an elegant facade adorned with intricate sculptures and decorations, reflecting the grandeur of the baroque architectural style. Today, it houses the Museum of Astronomy and Technology, offering visitors a unique blend of historical architecture and scientific exhibits.
