Very well preserved medieval castle. A very well done guide is distributed at the reception to explain the function of each room and the medieval way of life.

Very impressive castle complex, which can even be visited with a dog.
Very friendly staff, also speaks German. Don't miss this attraction.
Admission for adults: 7€ (5/2022), but it's definitely worth it.
