The West House on this floor was originally arranged with only two large halls: a grand banquet and dance hall to the south, and a smaller hall to the north, separated solely by a large double door. The northern hall comprised what is now the Captain’s Room and the Maiden Chamber, and it was not until the 1860s that the room was divided. It was then that Baron Frederik Siegfred initiated a comprehensive restoration of the castle’s interior, beginning in 1858 and accelerating over the following decade as the room was converted into a guest suite.
When Baron Frantz and Camille Bille‑Brahe moved into Egeskov in the early 1870s, the room was arranged as the young chamber of their daughter Jessie. In addition to her personal furnishings, the room was equipped with a telegraph for the chambermaid and the servant. The walls were painted a rose‑pink hue, and when Jessie took over the castle, the room became known as the Rose Room.
