The banqueting hall or ballroom is modelled on courtly palace architecture and reflects the
strengthened self-image of the upper-middle class at the end of the 18th century. It served as a
representative venue for chamber music concerts, receptions and banquets, but also for the
signing of important contracts. The high doors crowned with supraports through which the hall is
entered offer a direct view of the mirrors on the facade wall. These mirrors, coupled with the

large wall coverings from the 18th century featuring idyllic landscapes, make the room seem
much larger. The hall would have been furnished according to the requirements of the particular
occasion.
