Zwinger (literally Dungeon) was actually intended as a festival/enjoyment location and an orangery (yup!). The building they call Zwinger was built as a floral boutique and show pavillion to exist beside the main castle. Unfortunately the main castle never got built but the garden building, Zwinger, did. Go figure. Courtyard area of Zwinger
