History
The first building of the greenhouse was built by order of Emperor Franz II in 1823-1826 according to the project of the architect Ludwig von Remy, who used the innovative technology of iron structures at that time [1] .
In 1901, the greenhouse was rebuilt according to the project of the architect Friedrich Oman , who changed the historical facade to Art Nouveau and increased the area of the windows. Perestroika took 5 years [1] .
In 1988, for security reasons, the greenhouse was closed. In 1996-1998, the building was repaired, and the total cost of repairs amounted to about 13 million euros. In 1998, the Palm Greenhouse was reopened, in its left northwest wing there is a butterfly nursery, whose area is 280 m².
