Very beautiful castle, with a neatly landscaped garden. For 7 euros per person you are already inside and you can quietly explore the castle for a few hours. At the top of the towers you have a great view over the Rhine and you can see for miles.
In the castle itself you can view the impressive rooms and take nice photos!
OPENING HOURS
From the end of March to the beginning of November daily from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm
