On the upper floor
is displayed the Baroque furniture and fittings of the refectory
at the Jesuit house at Trencén (today: Trenčin, Slovakia). The
refectory was fitted out between 1732 and 1733; the appointments
consist of benches and tables, as well as wood paneling ornamented
with portraits of the order's saints and a depiction of the house's
founder.
The upper-floor rooms of the castle are adorned
with murals: in the rooms of the Danube wing Baroque, Rococo and
Classicist "al
secco" embellishments succeed each other in chronological
order. The murals provide an authentic environment for the furniture;
hence
we have adjusted the pace of the exhibition to them. In this way,
the upper-floor rooms of the castle's
Danube (south) wing provide
an insight into Baroque, Rococo and
Early Classicist furniture art. On the
upper floor of the castle's north wing we can view
furniture
and fittings in the Late Classicist,
Empire and Biedermeier styles.
With the help of guide-sheets placed in the rooms
visitors can acquire information regarding the artifacts on show.
Visitors may
also request
guided tours (but only in advance; see the section entitled "Services").
By moving the mouse
over the plan, you can look inside the first floor
rooms of the castle.
