Eremitageslottet, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark
The Hermitage Palace is inextricably linked to the myth of the Hermitage table, although the table no longer exists at the palace. The table, equipped with gears and pulleys, was one of the world's first dumbwaiters, created to transport royal food from the kitchen in the basement up to the Dining Hall.
Without any servants present, the king could enjoy his meals in peace and quiet away from the hectic court life in Copenhagen and speak freely with his guests.
