The Witcher 3 – Chest on Kaer Morhen Scaffolding Location
the-witcher-3
Exploring Kaer Morhen I saw interesting chest inside one of the towers. However, all my attempts to get to it end up with Geralt falling to his death.
Is it possible to get to that chest at all, or is it just pure decoration?

As you have stated shown with the screenshots, that chest is not reachable, but serves as a throwback as mentioned by @Gallifreyan. I also looked into the witcher 3 strategy guide, and that chest isn't mentioned.
I was searching for the same but having explored what I believe was the whole area of Kaer Morhen, I could not find them anywhere either. My conclusion is that the chronological implications in this game are simply badly implemented because this was not the only occasion when the plot didn't make sense and expected characters to be somewhere where they weren't, for example
Triss in Novigrad during the Redania's Most Wanted quest or Yen in Skellige during some of the side quests there.
I believe that sending people to Kaer Morhen serves only to prepare for
the Battle of Kaer Morhen (the Brothers in Arms: Area quests)
and the game doesn't acknowledge their presence before the respective main quest.
The story in this game is very enjoyable but at the same time it's very easy to miss important scenes. For example, I completely missed
Letho
and never expected that something as simple as
bringing Ciri to see Emhyr var Emreis
would result in a completely different main ending.
