Built in hard times and in great haste when extreme cold threatened to decimate the regiment’s horses in the winter of 1835. (But don’t mention it.)

 

The ceiling fans

From the Carossa Srviza windmills in California’s Napa Valley.

 

The horse

A copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Cavallo di Forcione, it weighs approx. 6800 kg. The sketches were found under the marble floor of Siena Cathedral in 1971. Sculptors: Peter Apelgren and Sven-Ingvar Johansson. The commission took four years and two months to complete.

 

The water station

Brought from a mountain village outside Bergamo.
