We walked through the palace and a man told us all about the king and queen and their beautiful home. Their house had a ballroom, just like in the Disney movies. It also had a chapel (that’s a small church) so the king and queen didn’t even have to leave their house to go to church on Sunday.

One fun thing we discovered is that palaces have secret passageways! The walls open up, and behind the wall is a staircase or hallway. Servants used the secret passageways to get to and from the kitchen or other rooms. Servants were not supposed to use the same rooms as the royal couple.

The servants didn’t even live in the palace. They had their own buildings off to the side of the palace with their bedrooms, a chapel for the servants, and the kitchen for the palace. When dinner was ready, the servants carried it to the king and queen through and tunnel, up the stairs and into the dining room through a door in the wall! What an amazing life kings and queens had long ago!
