Winter Garden of Castello ...

photos Georg Eichinger

was opened about 3 years of ... after renovation in October.

He is left of the vaporetto stop Biennale, in the beautiful shady avenue Viale Garibaldi.
Right it goes to the Gardens of the Biennale.

The small Venetian "Serra ai Giardini di Castello" was built in 1894, one of the many, sometimes huge, Gewächshä
user in Central Europe, who received round exotic plants that were a result of the orangery of the Baroque have come out of fashion. It was abandoned in the 90s and cut in front of him, several times I was quite stunned in the face of misery on the garden fence and find in my archives a single photo. I was probably depressed the sight of so ...

Now the building for about € 00 700.0
brought into motion again, with its 280 square meters and a height of about 7 m, the northern and north-west wall Bricks, the south and southeast side of glass and cast-iron pillars. belongs to the renovation project, largely to use original parts again, but use to stabilize new elements in the least possible extent, particularly for the reinforcement of the foundations, because Serra is a listed building. 1 2 old cast-iron as a supporting structure were supplemented by nine new iron columns in support, restored the disk space / renewed. The technical infrastructure was upgraded.

The winter garden was probably used earlier by the "ordinary" citizens of Castello, and it should in the future be as neighborhood meeting place with focus on environmental education for all age groups. Currently there is ever a plant shop, gep
lant is a café. So, you can watch a coffee on the way to and from the Biennale next summer, the winter garden in peace.
