Preliminary study/design for the reconstruction of the orangery building - Gunnebo back to the 18th century, phase 3.

Gunnebo Castle and Gardens intends to fulfill the vision of recreating the country estate Gunnebo according to the intentions and efforts of the Hall family and Carl Wilhelm Carlberg. The desire is to create a coherent cultural-historical built environment in which buildings, gardens, park and landscape form a whole for deeper understanding and experiences linked to the late 18th century. An important further step in this direction is to explore the possibility of rebuilding the site's orangery: admired by its contemporaries and often described as the jewel of the property. For the overall understanding of the historic Gunnebo, the building is of great importance both aesthetically and functionally. The first stage of the project includes a research-based feasibility study that will form the basis for the reconstruction. The architecturally perfect orangery was used for both business and pleasure. Practically functional as a space for winter storage of the Hall family's extensive holdings of exotic fruit trees. The building was also used for socializing, celebrations and as a first-class attraction for visiting guests. In 1829, the orangery building burned down after a long period of neglect and decay.
