Hello Everyone,
Got Inspired by the famous Neuschwanstein Castle and started to make this lobby hall, was working on it for around 5 weeks
totally made in Blender 2.69
Rendered with 500 Samples, Render time was around 2 hours.
hope you will like this 
I am really not qualified to comment on this technically because, I am just getting started in this myself so I think its all very good.
One thing I did notice though is that the walls, the floor, and the glass in the front give it a bit of an old possibly abandoned feel. However, the candles have recently been lit and the glass in the pictures appears freshly cleaned. That being said, its a better scene than I could have put together.
Another thing is that I think this would be a great scene to test out the cycles volumetrics on 
nice atmosphere. good job!
Sweet render. Just out of curiosity are the walls based on reference photos?
yeah, thanks
Very nice! It really make me feel that I am in old house, maybe a bit stinky or damp.
And I think it reminds me quite old pc game called Syberia.
thank you
very nice:eyebrowlift:
Very nice! I see your secret liquor stash under the table though. Not a very good hiding job.
I would say this is historically correct. In the time when the prussian empire existed things like, latex pain, chemical solvents and cleaners, and laser precision stone work did not exist. I bet back then everything looked kind of grungy. I like the feeling of this.
yeah 
thanks
