hides between its walls so many secrets

Could you please correct the following sentence?

The old house still hides between its walls many secrets.

I mean the position of 'between its walls'. It is correct.?

Thank you

The position is correct, but a bit stylistic. I think I would use within , which could refer either to inside the whole building or to inside the walls themselves.

KipalThe old house still hides between its walls many secrets.
This order is more likely with heavier direct objects. For example:

The old house still hides between its walls many secrets that not even they know about.

This is preferred over the default order version, The old house still hides many secrets that not even they
