The Orangery of Culture

Highlight • Historical Site

The Orangery of Culture in Lidzbark Warmiński is the historic garden pavilion of the Warmia bishops, also known as the Ignacy Krasicki Orangery. Built in the first half of the 18th century, its final form was given to it by Bishop Ignacy Krasicki in 1790. The building was part of the representative episcopal gardens, famous for their promenades, sculptures, and water features.

In front of the orangery's façade is an ornamental fountain, echoing the tradition of decorative accents in historic episcopal gardens. The entire complex served recreational and representative functions, and in the 20th century, the building housed, among other things, a library.

Following its revitalization completed in 2015, the orangery was transformed into a cultural center, hosting exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and literary events. Today, it is a key element of the city's cultural life, combining the historic character of the monument with social and educational functions.

The first parish priest of Lidzbark in the years 1305-1321 was Fr. Heynemann, who performed priestly ministry in a wooden church. Probably the first wooden church in Lidzbark was burnt down in 1311 by the Lithuanian prince Witenes.

The construction of a brick temple was carried out in the second half of the 14th century in the form of a three-nave, five-span hall. The church has stellar vaults from the end of the 14th century in the nave and aisles, and from the 15th century in the tower chapels. The church tower, initially low with a wooden superstructure, was built in the last years of the 14th century and was raised in the next two centuries to the present height of 66 m. a baroque turret, and the church tower is decorated with a cupola with three pyramidal lanterns ending with a flag with the coat of arms of bishop Teodor Potocki. The church was expanded in the years 1892-1896, when a neo-Gothic three-nave basilica chancel, a new sacristy and side porches were added on the eastern side.
The most important collections of the Lidzbark parish treasury include:
