A baroque estate with integrated palace, park and town. The baroque design dates from 1683 and was made under the Dutch influence of Princess Henriette Catharina of Nassau-Orange and her architect, the Dutchman Cornelis Ryckwaert. An Anglo-Chinese Garden was added, at the end of the 18th century, by Prince Franz of Anhalt-Dessau - who made the Garden Kingdom and Wörlitz Park.

Together with the Woerlitzer Anlagen, the Luisium, Schloss Mosigkau, Schloss Grosskuehnau and Sieglitzer Berg, Oranienbaum forms the ‘Garden Kingdom’ Dessau-Woerlitz which is unique in the German garden landscape, both in terms of design and sheer size. The garden network has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The garden’s original layout is formal, but parts of it were later re-designed in the English landscape style. The English-Chinese garden, the first of its type in Germany, is well worth to be seen, being complete with teahouse, pagoda and bridges.
