The commission for the tunnel was given to Josef Pleskot's AP Atelier. Their simple design funnels people on their way to the castle towards one of the two rectangular openings of the 84m (275 ft) long tunnel via retaining walls. Once inside, the rectangular opening gives way to an oval section that is stretched rather high, making the extremely long and narrow opening appear more generous in size and less claustrophobic for those passing through.
