T his is one of the great historic greenhouses of Europe (another is located within the Hofburg Complex in Vienna). In fact, it is 11 hothouses linked by a yellow brick road ala The Wizard of Oz. The largest of the hothouses is 60 meters long, and 30 high. If you go, be prepared to only enjoy it from the outside. This is royal turf, and only open to the public a few days a year.
