Chapel
A storeyed chapel is considered to be the most precious and most preserved part of the palatinate. The ground-floor was consecrated to St. Martin, the first floor to St. Erhart and St. Urschula. The lower and upper premises are connected through an octagon hole. The lower Roman part is dark and leaves the impression of ponderousness and gloom. The first floor with the elements of gothic architecture is light, decorative. There is also a separated oratorio for the ruler in the floor.
At the beginning of the 18th century it was decided that it would serve as a powder warehouse. Thereby it was saved from demolition.
