The Old Orangery

The Old Orangery was built to house exotic
trees in the winter season. It is also a place which is very closely
linked to art and culture. The Royal Theatre is situated in the Old
Orangery, as is the Gallery containing Stanisław August’s collection of
sculptures.

The Old Orangery was raised in the years 1785-88, according to
a design by Domenico Merlini, court architect to King Stanisław August.
The Royal Theatre is one of the few surviving authentic
eighteenth-century court theatres in Europe, and the only one of its
kind in Poland.
