Originally, this spectacular Renaissance hall was an impressive hall for feasts and dancing. In the early 19th century, it was known as the King’s Hall, as the walls were decorated with the family's collection of portrait paintings of the royal lineage. For several decades thereafter, the castle had been uninhabited under Count Preben Bille‑Brahe, who resided at Hvedholm.

The lack of maintenance over these decades had severe consequences for the interior condition of the hall – for example, the floors had become dangerously worn. When Baron Frederik Siegfred took over the castle in 1857, he had to mark the floors with chalk lines on the planks which could be safely tread upon. In the late evenings, it was the baron himself who lit the way for his guests on their way to their rooms, so they avoided falling through the floor. In 1858 to 1859, the hall underwent a major restoration.

The hall was divided into smaller rooms; to the northwest, a storage area was set up (later used as a guest room) for glass and porcelain during Baron Frederik Siegfred’s time; to the south (by the piano), a smaller parlor; and to the southwest, a green‑painted corner room with an adjoining room with blue‑painted walls. These rooms functioned as guest rooms. Along the east side of the hall ran a corridor that provided access to the rooms in the east wing.
During the 1890s, when Count Julius and Jessie owned the castle, the smaller rooms in the hall were arranged as rooms for the children, Preben and Agnete. It was not until the extensive restoration by Countess Nonni and Count Gregers in 1975 that the hall’s open space was reinstated.The large, impressive portrait paintings have only in recent times become part of the room’s furnishings, whereas the chests have been in the hall for several centuries.
