Oranienbaum
City, palace and palace garden
The Oranienbaum palace complex immediately impresses with its size. But it is the whole place that is a fascinating testimony to the Baroque – laid out according to an ideal geometric design in perfect symmetry. An impressive central axis runs through the small town, connects the market square and the palace grounds and makes its way far beyond the boundaries of the place into the Garden Realm.

A palace tells the story of what it’s made of.
Over the centuries, Oranienbaum Palace has become a stone witness to various eras, traces of which are still visible today. Explore the exhibition individually and learn more about the history of the historic site.
From 1693 onwards, Henriette Catharina established tobacco production in Oranienbaum. Most of the Oranienbaum families had their share in cultivation and processing, which helped the village to flourish. Based on the so-called tobacco colleges of the 17th century, there is now a permanent exhibition on this topic in the northern pavilion of Oranienbaum Palace.
Houses for plant treasures
In the summer months, when the valuable plants adorn the palace park, you can find out about the cultivation, history and importance of the citrus family in the Garden Realmof Dessau-Wörlitz in the Orangery.

Even today, elegant factory owners’ villas, farmsteads, tobacco factories and the original baroque ensemble of castle, palace park and town bear witness to Oranienbaum’s 350-year history.
Along the monument trail, you can follow them in a playful way – signs with the special details are attached to the house facades.
You can also visit the baroque town church: on an elliptical ground plan, the church from 1712 forms the crowning glory of the Oranienbaum urban ensemble.
