Schönbrunn Palace is full of marvels. These include the Chinese cabinet with its ebony parquet floor, the porcelain room (actually painted wood, except for the candle holder and chandelier), the South American rosewood decorations, and not forgetting the great gallery, 45 metres long and 12 metres wide, lit by more than a thousand candles. Until recent years, the famous Viennese balls were still held here, but they were stopped so as not to damage the period paintings on the ceiling.
The adjuvants' room, rebuilt in 2004, features traditional Hungarian costumes, with grey feathered hats and red jackets, in memory of the privileged status of this country during the imperial era.
