A orangery is a building closed and sheltered cold in which one shelters, during the bad season, the Agrume S planted in vats as well as other plants fearing freezing. This place is used to protect the Oranger S in the areas at cold winter like France; in hotter area, Mediterranean, like Italy, the term devoted for the same use is called limonaia (for the Citronnier S).

The term “orangery” formerly also indicated the plantations of Oranger S, which one now calls of the “orange groves”.

Characteristics

The height under ceiling of the orangeries is calculated in such a way that the greatest subjects (palm trees) of the garden of summer " out-sol" can remain there. This great height makes it possible, also, to obtain an optimum thermal regulation. The orangeries are always established, vis-a-vis the south. The winter, when the sun is low, it brings at piece-rates its direct light and its heat. The summer, when the sun is high, plumb with the building, it does not enter directly this one. Thus, the temperature of an orangery designed according to the code of practice, is maintained with the optimum in any season.
