Close to the horse, there is a door in the north-east part of the mansion. A large dark door, definitely sparking my curiosity. It is an entrance to the stables, maybe? Let's find out what is behind them!
The stairs are wooden but they don't creak when walking on them. They are made of solid wood and installed on a hard base. The atmosphere changes as I walk downstairs...
A surprise! A row of wide stairs took me to the wine cellar. The light is not strong but rather subdued. Surprisingly there is no stench. The place is dry and quite pleasant. This place bears testament to the times when people's evening schedule was unthinkable without a pint and a good laugh.
Huge oak barrels, taller than me, once upon a time filled with local wine now stand as a silent witness of the times long gone. The large cellar is filled with exhibits but free of people. The silence speaks for itself.
Check out the Croatian historical coat of arms engraved on that barrel! My mind is working hard to remember some history lessons from the 18th...
I think these are the winemaking accessories. They look interesting.
I'm wondering how this place looked in its prime time. Imagine an 18th-century wine hall. Emotions all over the place, loud uncontrolled laughter, a clinking of glasses, a few guys in the corner twitching some strings. Probably not many table manners to go around, if at all. Does that differ from most of the pubs today? Was then also so much superficial talk and self-conscious giggles? :D
Enjoy your day! :-)
