Open exhibition in the Great Hall
Step inside the Great Hall and
see the beautifully set table prepared for the King’s court. Opulence and the
bizarre often went hand in hand when the king held multi-day feasts in a
town. In Horsens, the chefs have been busy creating impressive display dishes
– cockentrice – a special medieval method of preparing certain dishes at the
great castles. Pies with live birds and frogs, sewn-together animals
resembling mythological creatures – a pig and a rooster, and voila, you have
a bizarre mythical beast that will delight the king and his guests. The more
cockentrices and display dishes, the finer the feast, and if there are
diamonds in the eyes of the prepared venison, it is extra fine.
Come and see the exhibition of the feast table when the royal escapades
take a break.
