On them sit two angels holding the alliance's Lobkowicz-Althan coat of arms with the monogram "F in A" (Fürstin von Althan). The roof is formed by a dome with a lantern on pendants. The ceiling is decorated with a fresco of the Holy Trinity appearing above the globe. The grouping of angels in the fresco holds the symbols of the Lord's Passion. The author of the frescoes is Václav Vavřinec Reiner. Reiner is also credited with the authorship of the altarpiece with the theme of the repentant St. William with the hermit.
