✨ Tsaritsyno Greenhouses

Three restored greenhouses by the palace with palms, citrus trees and exotic plants.

The first stone greenhouse in Tsaritsyno was built by Vasily Bazhenov in the 1780s.
By the early 19th century the greenhouse complex had five large buildings, expanded in the 1820s.
Pineapples, peaches and bitter oranges were grown here and sold at Moscow markets.
The greenhouses were closed in 1860, when Tsaritsyno was passed to the Department of Appanages, and in the 1880s a dacha settlement grew up in their place.
The current three greenhouses were recreated in 2006–2007 from old drawings and excavation data.
The greenhouses host seasonal exhibitions, such as New Year in the Kingdom of Flora.
