Especially in summer, when it's hot, cyclists will find a cozy café with outdoor seating and, of course, a restroom in addition to food and drinks. After the break, you can then continue directly back to the Elbe Cycle Path towards Torgau.

As the complex was used as an orphanage from 1829 onwards, only a few pieces of the original furnishings remain in the building. These include ornamented consoles dating from 1574, a stucco ceiling from 1720 or 1727 and some studded doors. The local museum has three panels from a wooden ceiling of the castle decorated with arabesque paintings on display. These are dated to 1574. The local museum also has a cast-iron stove plate with a view of Dresden. Another stove from the castle is now in the Luther Room of the Luther House in Wittenberg.
