The main building is based on astronomy. This is best seen in the most beautiful rooms, on the 2nd floor. The shell and the courtyard are kept rather simple. The state rooms can only be visited with a guided tour – which has the advantage that not too many people are present at once and the guides are very competent. 

The highlight of the whole tour is the planet hall. The pictures show the days of the week, as well as the important family members as deities in one. The zodiac signs are also hidden in the pictures.
