ORANGERY GARDENS

During the reconstruction of the Echternach Abbey, great importance was given to the development of the surrounding areas. This is how gardens with a orangerie were created in 1736. The cross-shaped paths and the central water basin reveal the signature of the architect Léopold Durand who had developed the plans. There were, originally, nearly 400 fruit trees. On the beautiful facade of the Orangerie, you will notice the four allegorical figures that represent the seasons.
