Orangery (English spelling)

Japanese: オランジェリー（英語表記）orangery

The prototype of the greenhouse was built in Renaissance gardens to nurture orange and citron trees, prized as Oriental plants, during the cold season. Many of them had large windows, and fruit trees were placed in wooden boxes or terracotta pots for easy transportation, and heated by fire. They first appeared in Italy in the late 15th century and spread throughout Europe, with some also functioning as rooms to enjoy the pleasant aroma of fruit trees, and in Germany they were used as music venues and small theaters.

ルネサンスの庭園において，東方の植物として珍重されたオレンジやシトロンなどの樹木を寒い季節の間養成するためにつくられた温室の原型。その多くは窓面を大きくとり，運搬に便利なように木の箱や素焼の鉢に植込んだ果樹を置き，火で暖めた。 15世紀後半のイタリアに始ってヨーロッパ各地に広まり，果樹のよい香りを楽しむ居室としての機能を備えるものも現れ，ドイツなどでは音楽の演奏会場や小劇場としても用いられた。
