The right portal leads to the courtyard of the complex and
to the outbuilding, in which the city library
and the large social hall of the City of Volkach are located today.
The former social/entertainment rooms of the Schelf family remain
preserved on the upper floor of the main building -
the picture room, the oven room, the White Hall and the
Professor-Rösser room. Again, these reflect the image of the social status of the former owner.
The frescoes on the finely stuccoed ceilings show
mythological scenes, bearing witness to the taste and refinement of Johann Georg Adam
