Around 1800, this room was used as a living chamber. We know that the chambers east of the Banqueting Hall were used as, among other things, a study, a servants’ room, and the chamber of the young Preben Bille‑Brahe when he visited his mother, the widow Caroline. During the 19th century, the room’s name changed to the forester-chamber.

When the castle opened its doors to the public in more recent times, the room was arranged as an accurate snapshot of the castle’s furnishings and style in the final decades of the 19th century. The inventory and décor reflect Baron Frantz Bille‑Brahe’s salon as well as the later rooms of Count Jessie and Count Julius. This includes paintings, lithographs, the reddish‑brown furniture, and decorative effects that Baron Frantz brought from his tenure as envoy at the Italian court in Florence. The dark, somber colors testify to the patriarch’s gravity and responsibility, and the furnishings exude a cultured education and an international outlook. The baron’s salon was in clear contrast to the countesses’ boudoirs, which appeared lighter and were often furnished in Rococo style.
