In the first half of the 19th century, Count Preben Bille-Brahe used this room as a living room when he stayed at Egeskov from his home at Hvedholm. It was furnished with horsehair furniture from his parents' time. During his son Baron Frederik Siegfred's tenure in the 1860s, partitions were erected, and the room was known as the General's Room.

When Baron Frantz and Camille Bille-Brahe took over the castle in 1871, the room became the baron’s private salon and was furnished with reddish-brown furniture and items from his life as an envoy in several European capitals. Through the telegraph, he had direct contact with both the stables, servants, and maids. The room was just a small part of the baron’s wing, which extended into his study and bedroom towards the tower. In the "Klunke"-room, you can see a collection of the baron’s personal effects from this room in the 1870s. In the southwestern corner of the room, the baron’s separate reception room was set up as a library with a cast-iron stove and a spiral staircase to the first floor.

When Count Julius and Jessie took over the castle, the salon was converted into a dining room, and the partitions were removed in 1883-1884. They installed a new oak parquet floor made from timber from the buildings that had been cleared from the castle square a few years earlier. During this period, works by Margrethe Ulfeldt and Admiral Niels Juel, which you will find in the Banqueting Hall, were moved from the Tile Room to this one.
