The narrower west elevation is decorated with a four-column Ionic portico with a beam and a triangular gable. The wall of part of the orangery façade is covered with climbing wild vines. Three metal vases with flowers stand in front of the portico. The bastion by the moat is overgrown with vines. A fragment of a beech tree is visible on the left. To the right is a view of the Rose Garden in front of the south elevation of the orangery and the linden trees in the lane by the castle moat.
