Description

Description

ORANGERY belonging to the country estate Mattemburgh. South of the main building stands a brick orangery built circa 1880 (central section), rebuilt in 1947 after war damage, and extended with two curved wings in 1957 by the architecture firm De Wilde, whereby the wooden roof truss structure of the old section was replaced by an iron structure. The central section erected on a rectangular base has a front facade of seven window bays with windows furnished with a piece of lead in the middle, of which only the fanlights can be opened; original hinges and locks. During the 1957 renovation the windows were provided with iron inner frames. The facade features a pilaster articulation as the windows are separated from each other by a narrow strip of brickwork; above this a recessed cornice and tapering capitals of brickwork. In the side wings iron windows and similar facade articulation. The remaining facades are blind. In the INTERIOR a section of the flue along the rear over the floor is still present. Large collection of tub plants standing in square tubs made of laths set in a framework of iron bands. Behind it a flower garden from 1959.
