On the far wall there are two large oil portraits, one of a male and one of a female. There are sofas below them and chairs lining the edges of the room. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling and there is a large urn to the right.

Schloss Neustrelitz was the principal palace of the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. It was destroyed by fire in 1945. The Mecklenburg-Strelitz family had close ties to the British Royal family dating from the marriage of Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz to King George III.
