Special opening of the Orangery Palace

The Orangery Palace will remain closed to visitors in 2026 - but work will continue in the historic palace rooms. While the outer shell of the building is being extensively renovated, a wide range of restoration measures are taking place in the palace rooms. For this purpose, the walls of some rooms are completely covered, in other rooms only the art objects are covered or "translocated", i.e. no longer in their original location.
On this day, we will not only open the palace to you, but also allow you to look over the shoulders of three colleagues as they carry out their restoration work - or rather, to look at their fingers. A chandelier will hang directly at eye level and gradually regain its arms, its soul and its approx. 3,000 glass elements, which will be carefully and individually attached with wires and sometimes covered with "socks". Why are wooden doors given an imitation wood finish? How and why is this historical technique used at all? The subtle tricks required to so inevitably deceive the eye are not only demonstrated and explained, but can also be examined on finished doors. Another topic is the so-called frames, i.e. the paint and gilding in the rooms. Why do flakes of paint and gold fall from the walls in the first place? Why are paint flakes treated medically with syringes and cotton swabs? you can find out more about these measures on your tour of the still partially covered palace rooms.Translated with DeepL
