32 Description of the situation: The coronation chamber is located above the vault of the Wenceslas Chapel in St. Veitsdom. You get to it through an iron door in the ground floor of the chapel ( at the bottom in the corner to the right of the intruder). The door has on the left side 7 locks from top to bottom in a line attached with 7 different keys. These are the same 7 keys that also lock the 7 locks of the coronation shrine in the cooning chamber. Just behind the iron door in the Wenceslas Chapel, a steep stone spiral staircase with 64 steps leads into the codonation chamber. The coronation chamber is about 12 m long and 4 1/2 m wide Gothic vaulted and with stone tiles laid out room with 3 flat vaults each on the two longitudinal sides. It originally served as sacristy. The spiral staircase flows approximately in the first quarter of the longitudinal side. From here stands the Gothic crowning shrine, which dates back to later times, about 9 m away. Thus, the shrine stands at the lower end of a free floor area of about 9 x 4 1/2 m. In front of the shrine there is a table about 1 1/2 m long and about 80 cm wide. Through the mouth of the spiral staircase from below two corners, one right and one left are created in the first quarter. To the right of the mouth from the exit of the spiral staircase is a flat oak case (about 1 x 0.80 m ), which is intended for the lay transport of the jewels. To the left of the outlet there is a heart-like stone attachment covering the spiral stairs. On it stands a small glass shrine with gilded wooden strips, which is intended for the lay exhibition of the jewels.
