Vlaštovčí hnízdo - zkouška

xceptionally, most of the original interior in this room has been preserved since Christian IV’s time – from the ceiling paintings, with scenes from the Italian epic Orlando Furioso, to the panels with embedded paintings, and the fireplace. However, we do know that the wall coverings of green silk with printed gold ornaments date from around 1700.

If you look at the north wall of the room, you can see the hidden jib door. Behind it, Christian IV had a stair with direct access to the basement. Frederik III (1609–1677) later had the staircase replaced with a so-called ascenseur, or ‘ascending chair’, which was very fashionable at the time. The chair could be pulled up to the first and second floors, so that The King did not have to climb the stairs himself. Unfortunately, we only know the chair from sources, as it no longer exists.
