Schloss Schönbrunn Apothekertrakt
The so called Apothekertrakt of Schönbrunn Palace was built shortly after the mid-eighteenth century in the course of remodelling the hunting lodge into a residence palace. This extension of the palace complex as summer residence for Maria Theresa also included the construction of ancillary buildings in the Meidling and Hietzing direction, thus assuring provision management for the entire court household.
Several ground plans for Schönbrunn dating to the 1760s/70s show the ground-level Apothekertrakt all the way to the “Cedrat House” – where the rare citron was cultivated – and the Orangery; this is more or less identical in design to today’s building, except for the interior room arrangement.
