Beautiful castle ruins. The inner courtyard is accessible and a small staircase a few meters high leads to a small viewing point with geological panels.

Currently, the palace, the formerly multi-story main building of a medieval castle, is being covered with a new transparent roof structure. A fantastic and very impressive construction.
