var én pige til to jomfruer, så det kunne tyde på, at de
delte et kammer, og at kammerpigen sov inde hos dem.
Men livsformen og dermed boligindretningen –
helt bortset fra stil og mode – ændrede sig i begyndelsen
af 1700-tallet. Brugen af rummene blev differentieret,
så man ikke længere sov og spiste i samme
rum, og man ønskede ikke længere at opholde sig
sammen med andre i alle vågne timer. Boligen blev
derfor ændret, så den enkelte kunne trække sig tilbage.
Der skulle være længere mellem herskab og tjenestefolk,
og i mange huse blev der indlagt korridorer
og geheimetrapper, så al trafik ikke skulle gå gennem
alle rum.
På Jomfruklosteret egnede de store rum i stueetagen
sig ikke til den nye livsform, men der var til
gengæld hele overetagen at gøre godt med. I syv af de
femten rum på førstesalen har konservatorerne fundet
rester af den samme bandebemaling af væggene,
hvilket tyder på, at de er indrettet på én gang, men
denne vægdekoration var længe populær og er vanskelig
at datere præcist. Restaureringsarkitekterne har
derfor brugt trapperne som udgangspunkt for dateringen
af førstesalens indretning, idet de store trapper
først da blev nødvendige: Ud fra forskellige stiltræk er
de indsat i 1720’erne.
Dele af indretningen er dog nogle årtier yngre,
og det kan være Susanne Brahe, der har stået for en
people no longer slept and ate in the same room and it
was no longer felt desirable to spend all waking hours
in the company of others. The house was therefore
altered so that each person had a place in which to
withdraw. There was now a greater distance between
masters and servants, and in many houses corridors
and backstairs were created so that traffic no longer
passed through all the rooms.
At Jomfruklosteret, the large rooms on the
ground floor no longer suited the new way of life,
but, on the other hand, the whole first floor could be
taken into use. In seven of the 15 rooms on the first
floor, the conservators have found remains of the
same striped painting of the walls, indicating that
they were constructed at the same time. But this wall
decoration was long popular, so it is hard to date it
precisely. The conservation architects have therefore
used the staircases for dating the creation of the first
floor rooms, as it was only at this point that the large
staircases became necessary. On the basis of various
stylistic details, they are estimated as being from the
1720’s. However, parts of the house layout are a few
decades later, and it may have been Susanne Brahe
who was responsible for a refurbishment. She was
unmarried at the time of Karen Brahe’s death, but
was married the following year to Frederik Jensen
Hein of Stensgaard near Faaborg. They lived both at
