(Ring race building)/ (Ring race house)
I would leave the German appellation as is, and translate it in brackets.
Here is a site where just that has been done:

"Following the fire in the Renaissance castle on May 1, 1818, a new structure was erected, which replaced all functional areas of the old castle and gave the arrangement a new end point. The palm house was erected in 1859 for the extensive royal collection of plants, while the Ringrenngebäude (ring race building) was expanded into the Orangery in 1879/80. In 200 years Pillnitz had developed from a pleasure palace into a royal residence, in which science and art were also given pride of place."
