Long Hall is located on the ceiling of the Long Hall Located on the third floor, the Long Hall was completed in 1624. It was originally intended as a ballroom. Around 1700 it was used as Royal Reception Room and for banquets. It was not until the second half of the 19th century that it became known as the "Knight's Hall".
Christian V had the hall partly modernised with twelve tapestries depicting the King's victories in the
Scanian War (1675–1679). The stucco ceiling seen today is from the beginning of the 18th century. It shows the
Danish Coat of Arms surrounded by the
Orders of the Elephant and of
Dannebrog. Side reliefs depict historical events from the first years of the reign of
Frederik IV, including the liberation of the serfs, the founding of the
dragoons and of the land militia among them. The frescos in the ceiling by
Hendrick Krock, represent the Regalia. Among the main attractions of Rosenborg are the
coronation chair of the absolutist kings and the throne of the queens with the three silver lions standing in front. The Long Hall also contains a large collection of silver furniture, of which most is from the 17th century. ==Rosenborg Collections==
