Mirror Hall

The Mirror Hall rises through two storeys. It takes its name from two Paris-made mirrors, each measuring 14 square metres, placed opposite one another on the east and west walls. Three windows stand 7.5 metres high. The ceiling depicts a blue sky with floral motifs above an interior finished in black lacquer and gilding; the walls also carry allegories of the four seasons and signs of the zodiac.

Five crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. The largest contains 1,097 crystal elements weighing a total of 197 kilograms. Alongside the Paris mirrors, it is one of the hall's most elaborate glass furnishings. Following the castle's rebuilding in 1870-1876, the room served as the Hochberg family's formal dining hall.
