Winter Activities in the Palace Rink
During cold winter months, frozen palace courtyards were transformed into outdoor ice rinks for seasonal recreation. Surrounded by stone archways and a courtyard pavilion, a princess glides across frozen ice, leaving visible skate tracks next to a parked winter sleigh.
The History of Ice Skating on Royal Grounds
Ice skating became a popular pastime among European nobility starting in the seventeenth century, as court artisans constructed special rinks and sleighs. Courtiers glided across natural ponds and courtyards, utilizing early iron-bladed skates attached to sturdy leather boots.
