The castle can now also be visited from the inside in groups on weekends and public holidays between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Information about this can be found at burgsatzvey.de/burg-satzvey/burgfuehrungen.
You can view it from the outside for free as long as there are no events and you can just walk through. There are a lot of events such as jousting games, Halloween and so on..... Information about this burgsatzvey.de events/category/ events-maerkte/ There are also two castle restaurants and a mustard mill.

In addition to the many events, the castle also has a history.
Experts consider it to be the best preserved moated castle in the Rhineland in its original structure, a gem of Rhenish castle building and a monument to aristocratic culture and way of life.
Setzvey Castle is a typical moated castle, such as those built by the ministerial nobility in the 14th and 15th centuries in the lowlands, while the high nobility built hilltop castles that were difficult to conquer. The lack of a mountain as a natural obstacle for attackers had to be replaced by moats that were difficult to overcome. For this reason, moated castles were usually built on two islands and were almost always located near a stream that supplied the moats with water. The more heavily fortified main castle was therefore additionally protected by the outer castle on the second island.
