The Parade House at Gisselfeld – an enchanting orangery
The Parade House, beautifully situated in the heart of the Palace Gardens, belongs to Gisselfeld but is leased out to garden designer Stig Lauritsen and landscape architect Greg Kobett.
Gisselfeld Kloster makes dreams come true! With indescribably beautiful nature as a backdrop for its wonderful buildings, Gisselfeld Kloster is the perfect choice for life's big – and small – celebrations.
A sensory journey
Like stepping into another world – a botanical haven where the senses are indulged. The Parade House is a truly special oasis that takes you on a journey through exotic plants to the sound of running water and soothing music.
The history of the Parade House begins at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, where the impressive “Crystal Palace” greenhouse sent a wave of inspiration across Europe.
Christian Conrad Sophus, Count Danneskiold-Samsøe, took over as general director of Gisselfeld in 1869. His wife was from England, and his heart beat for flowers and plants. In 1876, inspired by the English landscape style, he built the beautiful and unique orangery – Paradehuset – based on designs by architect Herholdt.
Today, Paradehuset is leased by garden designer Stig Lauritsen – known from the garden programme “Have haves” on TV2, among others – and landscape architect Greg Kobett. They run Paradehuset as a space for sensory experiences with an emphasis on historical and exotic plants. Paradehuset also includes a small shop selling flowers and arts and crafts for connoisseurs.
