In the basement, where there was a kitchen originally, and later on a wine cellar, there is now a model of the Battle of Bílá hora with tin figures of soldiers. The ground-floor ceiling, divided into 334 fields, is decorated by fine stucco. The ornamental and figural motives were inspired by Roman Antique, but also Italian high-Renaissance - among the authors, there were Mario del Pambio, Giovanni Lucchese, and others. In the central field, there is the ultimate ancestor of the Roman dynasty named Aeneas, which corresponds with the targeted link of the Habsburg Family with the tradition of the Roman Emperors
