The verb at findes (past tense fandtes) means "to exist".
In theory it could also be a passive of at finde (= to find), but I've never heard it used like that. The passive of at finde is always at blive fundet.

"Only a key for the room was found there" was my answer based on the earlier learning. I get Viktor's point but must agree with Yorifik, it should "only a key for the room existed there" to make any sense in English. I would suggest a rethink on this question.

'There existed JUST one key for the room' is not accepted yet. Hopefully it will in the future as I consider it equally correct. ( Although a terrible English sentence)
