Built around 1720, the Orangerie in Darmstadt's Bessungen district was designed by Louis Remy de la Fosse and originally served as winter housing for citrus plants. The west wing of this baroque palace is surrounded by a symmetrical garden designed by J. K. Ehret, featuring tiered parterres and fountains. The Orangerie Park is marked at the northern end by the sandstone gate of the former Market Palace.
