A Postcard Castle

The castle’s furnished interiors are only accessible with a guided tour. The tour goes through over twenty rooms, including the courtroom, the library, the chapel, the knight’s hall, the “ghost room”, the armory chamber, the torture chamber, the cardinal’s room and the cozy guest rooms. In addition to the historical furnishings, a collection of student portraits from the 16th century and late Gothic frescoes in the chapel are an extraordinary rarity.

Accessible are: the gate system with the drawbridges, the attractive castle garden, the old kitchens, the large inner courtyard with a blacksmith shop, cistern and ice cellar. Information boards explain the individual components. The keep with film screening room (documentary film about the castle), the battlements and the attic of the former Palas (“Kasten”) can also be visited without a tour. The latter is particularly impressive due to the beam construction from the 17th century.
