A Renaissance-style cabinet from the 17th century

Tradition holds that the cabinet at the end of the Queen's Hall was made in 1632 in Nuremberg, where the Swedes battled. The burghers of Nuremberg ordered two similar cabinets to be made, one of which was presented to King Gustav II Adolf and the other given to officer Stackelberg, who was appointed as the local commandant. According to this information, the cabinet in Turku Castle belonged to Stackelberg himself. The cabinet is made of oak, and human and animal figures therein have been carved out of walnut wood. About 20 types of wood have been used for the intarsia decoration of the cabinet, including rosewood, jacaranda and ebony.
