The Palm House is located on the site of the former Dutch Botanical Garden and was erected in 1881/2 to designs by [Emperor] Franz Xaver Segenschmid.
One hundred and thirteen metres long, the Palm House consists of a 28-metre high central pavilion and two lateral pavilions which are three metres lower. Linked by tunnel-like passages, the pavilions contain different climatic zones: a ‘cold’ house to the north, a temperate zone in the central pavilion and a tropical zone in the south pavilion.
