Over the centuries, this corridor has been used by the manor servants as a service area. In the 18th century, tables were placed here allowing the servants to put the finishing touches on each dish before serving it in the Dining Room. Below the windows are cupboards for china and silverware.
The floor of the corridor is painted to look like marble. Wooden floors become fashionable in the 18th century, not least because they feel warmer than stone floors, but leaving them unpainted was unthinkable, so the floors of the elite were always painted to look like stone or marble.
