An orangery was a building often found in the gardens of fashionable homes from the 17th to the 19th century and given a classicising architectural form. The orangery was similar to a greenhouse or conservatory. The name suggests the original use of the structure as a place where citrus trees were often wintered in tubs under cover, existing through harsh frosts though not likely to flower and fruit. The orangery provided a luxurious addition of the normal range and season of woody plants, extending the security which had long been afforded by the warmth offered from a brick fruit wall. A 100 years after the use for Orange and lime trees had been established other species of tender plants, shrubs and exotic plants also came to be housed in the orangery, which gained a stove for the upkeep of these delicate plants in the cold winters of northern Europe.

The orangery originated from the Renaissance gardens of Italy, when glass-making techniques enabled sufficient expanses of clear glass to be produced. In the north, the Dutch led the way in developing sheets of window glass in orangeries, though the engravings illustrating Dutch manuals showed solid roofs, whether beamed or vaulted, and in providing ranges heat rather than open fires. This soon created a situation where orangeries became symbols of class among the wealthy. The glazed roof, which afforded light to plants that were not dormant, was a development of the early nineteenth century. The orangery at Dyrham Park, Gloucestershire, which had been provided with a slate roof as originally built about 1702, was given a glass one about a hundred years later, after Humphrey Repton remarked that it was gloomy; though it was built to shelter oranges, it has always simply been called the "greenhouse" in modern times
