Greenhouses to visit in Austria

The Verrière atlas lists 14 greenhouses in Austria, built between 1729 and 2021.

Vienna remains the centre of gravity of Austria's greenhouses: the Schönbrunn Palm House, whose 1882 iron frame carries 4,900 m² of glass, the Art Nouveau Palm House in the Burggarten, built for the imperial court, and zoo glasshouses such as the Tropenhaus of the Haus des Meeres, on a former flak tower. Beyond Vienna stand the baroque orangery of Schloss Hof (1729–1730), heated by an underground warm-air system, Volker Giencke's three interlocking acrylic cylinders at Graz University's botanical garden, the cactus collection of Innsbruck University's garden and that of Linz, recognised by the IOS in 1963, whose glasshouses are closed until 2028.
