    recounts

    As noted in the text about the Captain’s Room, these two rooms originally formed an open space and were known as the Carpenter's Hall. Here, a double door led into the large Banqueting Hall. Later, the room was divided, and in the 1870s a spiral staircase was constructed that connected the current Yellow Room to this upper staircase chamber. At that time, it was Baron Frantz Bille‑Brahe’s salon on the ground floor that was connected to his daughter Jessie’s adjoining chamber on the first floor. The spiral staircase was not dismantled until deep into the 20th century.
