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 on a rectangular floor plan. An impressive central axis runs through the village, connects the market square and the palace grounds and makes its way far beyond the boundaries of the village into the Garden Realm.
Come on in!

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.
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.
