Neoclassical Inspired by antiquity

The Marble Hall is characterized by understated elegance. The only thing that remains of the Baroque hall is the oval shape. In broad terms and in the detail, it is clear how strongly the art of antiquity was the forerunner to classicism: Flat pilasters made from light stucco marble divide the hall. Delicate stucco reliefs with garlands adorn the space between the capitals.
