DescriptionExterior birds-eye view of the house for distinguished guests. The left foreground shows the privy for servants and guards, while the right background shows the annex containing the kitchen, baking, and brewing facilities. The two chimneys located atop of the pitched roof reveal smoke emerging out, an indication for the location of individual corner fireplaces.
