The glazed facade on the south side provided the plants with unrestricted access to light and sunlight. The central part was adorned with two 19th-century statues of Vertumnus and Pomona. They were a mythological couple, deities associated with the changing seasons, gardens, and fruit trees. Two busts above them symbolize Autumn and Winter. The sculptures were created by Leon Molatyński.
Orangeries have been a permanent feature of parks and gardens at royal and aristocratic residences in Europe since the 17th century. They can be found in the Louvre, Versailles, Kensington Palace, and Kuskovo Palace in Moscow. In Poland, they were also built in Wilanów, Radzyń Podlaski, Nieborów, and Puławy.
