Upper Vestibule

The steep stairs leading to the first floor is built like a gangway. The brickwork and beams of the 18th century are visible in the wall. The carved oak balustrade of the 18th century decorates the stairs; the balustrade has remained since the erection of the Palace. The walls are decorated with the works by Italian and Dutch painters.
