I can only confirm the comrades' warning. Of course, no one keeps to the prohibition on entry. Was in ruins three weeks ago, extremely dilapidated, absolutely dangerous. The barriers and barbed wire are trampled and overgrown, barely visible on the ground.

Historical:
The chapel ruin (not a chapel!) Was built in 1826 as part of the renovation of the castle park to an English landscape garden as a "decorative element" in historicizing neo-Gothic style.
Swell:

Absolutely worth seeing, especially in fog the ruins look more impressive

Here it definitely helps to use your brain… a view from outside should be enough
