The Cloister is made up four buildings around a courtyard. The arches which descend onto unadorned solid pillars open onto a covered passage. The upper gallery lit by gemel windows provides a passage between different buildings, which all have crenellations and machicolations.

The Consistory Wing, on the East side, is the extension of the private apartments which you have just visited. It comprises two rooms built one above the other : the Consistory and the Grand Tinel or dining room.
In the South, an arched ceiling passage is built into the Guests’Wing, or Conclave Wing, and is protected by leaf doors at both ends with a room above them for operating the portcullises. The conclave wing has three storeys.

The ground floor with the upper gallery was for accommodating distinguished guests. This vast, 38-metre long room is divides by partition walls and was covered with tapestries and wall hangings. The ledgers of the Apostolic Chamber refer to this apartment as the «King’s Room», then, after Charles IV OF Bohemia stayed there, the «Emperor’s Room». The apartment was also used during conclaves.

Above the guest apartments, near the kitchens, are the lodgings for the butlers and pantlers. These storekeepers were responsible for purchasing grain, baking bread, which was done off premises, and for the implements needed for setting the tables. The butlers were responsible for wine supplies and for purchasing wine. The Great Storeroom, underneath the accommodation, takes up the entire groud floor and was used as a wine cellar.
