The Diocese’s most outstanding pieces of religious art are displayed in these unique rooms. The servants’ room provides a proper introduction to history and contains such exquisite pieces as the 16th-century rock crystal fish, among others. The antechamber and throne chamber are found next: an impressive 16th-century Flemish tapestry collection hangs on their walls. A small oratory, where a rich textile collection is exhibited, is accessed through the antechamber, while the main chamber leads into the Baroque Bishop’s chapel, ante-chapel and library-bedroom, where the oldest paintings and a carefully chosen collection of gold and silver work are on display. The paintings take up the private bedroom and original office. In the other rooms (dining room, cutlery room and kitchen) several sculptures are exhibited, together with the remainders of a glorious music past, of which several recordings are provided.
