hidden chamber

Concealed interior space

A hidden chamber is a concealed room or enclosed space, typically secret by design—behind a bookcase, beneath a floor, within thick walls.

The phrase evokes mystery and discovery: The archaeologists found a hidden chamber in the pyramid.

Hidden chambers appear frequently in adventure stories, Gothic architecture, and speculation about ancient tombs.
