General description of the staircases
L-shaped staircase adjasted at the eastern corner of the architectural "SW Addition" to the Western Wing of the palace. The first flight on the NE-SW axis is preserved with five (5) plastered steps. It has been assumed that the steps of the second flight, on the NW-SE axis, were of wood. The second flight of the staircase is not preserved. The current appearance is the result of heavy restoration work.
